That sounds like a neat setup. How are the temperature ranges? If you haven't looked into it check out the active uv heat bulbs.
Is the night time heating in addition to the under tank heating. If so, I would suggest loosing the undertank heating.
Check to see the little guy has clear eyes and no runny nose. Poke him in the nose (gently) and see if it makes any abnormal noises. If everything is fine leave it alone for a few days and see what happens. When you check on it just check to see that it is moving around. That is, see if it changes locations from the previous location.

: I have a rubbermaid container, 4 feet long by 12 in wide. The container has a few inches of topsoil covered with cypress mulch. I have planted some pothos and a boston fern, and have provided the water dish (very shallow), and daytime and nighttime heating, as well as an under tank heating pad. I also soak him once a day. So it is alright to just leave him buried?
: : In my experience hatchling redfoots a very delicate. The important things are heat and hydration and to watch out for chilling. So the habitat you need is relatively humid and warm. 75 to 85 with a basking spot of 95 F or so. Set up a water bowl so that it can get into and out of. Make sure it has a sucure hiding place. Then leave it alone and let it acclimate.(get used to its new home.) Be patient. Check on it daily to see that it is doing ok and try not to mess with it. If the conditions are right it should be out and exploring in a day or two.

: : : This is my first post on this website. I just got a redfoot hatchling 2 days ago. I have read a lot about them and have a nice habitat set up. It seems, however, to just want to bury itself all day and night. It is only 2 months old. Is this normal? Will it come out to eat?
