    Hii! I have a redfoot tortoise too. I have done a lot of research and it’s been recommended to get a UVB tube light (which you already have) and a ceramic heat emitter for the heat. This is recommended because it doesn’t have any light which is good for redfoot tortoises since their eyes are sensitive to light. Although, I’m still fairly new at keeping so, idk aha just a suggestion

    Hi! Are you able to have temperature gradients in this enclosure? I actually bought this exact one after I saw one of your videos for my baby red foot and when I posted in a forum asking for advice on the uvb strip light I basically got attacked for using a vivarium and they said it’s bad for ventilation and fungus and will make my tortoise sick. It really made no sense because this has the same if not better ventilation than a table with a plastic cover which they seem to all recommend. Just wondering how this is working out for you with humidity and temperature gradients ! Thanks for any input 😊 love your videos

    My first time seeing your channel. Good job. :) Have you considered adding more red foots to live with her? They are not really solitary creatures. Apart from that, maybe don´t have her enclosure so high up? They are ground dwelling species with not many cliffs or such in their native habitat, so that height might cause her a bit of stress. But ye, looks nice. :))
