: The Red foot "Frank" is about a year and a half old. Sally is 2 months. I have them in a 35 gallon terrarium with sphagnum moss, a hiding log, and water dish. I keep the humidity exactely at 78'. I hooked up an ultrasonic humidifier with a timer that goes off on a daily basis. I also have a reptisun uvb bulb and full spectrum heat lamp for them. The temp in the tank is around 85' in the day and 75 at night. I feed them romaine lettuce, strawberries, peaches, parsley, dandylion, and the odd blueberry. I also put vitamin suppliments on there food once a week. They are fed once every 2 days. My main concern is pyrimiding and so far there is no signs of it:0). I'm trying to mimik there natural humid environment and diet to prevent the pyrimiding. Personally I have had no problems so far. They are very healthy:0). I plan to get 4 more redfoots in the next couple of years. They also get bathed twice a week.

: Once they get larger, they will be moving into there 300 gallon set-up:0)
