Afternoon all,
@Arcadiajohn - ofcourse you are absolutely spot on regarding Vit D3 - apologies as this is what I was referring too. And I absolutely understand this to be vital to avoid a number of potential health issues. Sorry for my incorrect reference!
As the Redfoot is a hatchling I am starting out with a Komodo Eco vivarium (dimensions are: 115X60X43 CM which works out at near enough 4X2X1). Hopefully this should cover him/her until they reach around two years old by which point I intend to have built an outdoor enclosure.
As Vikki has suggested the UV light which has been recommended an Arcadia D3 (60CM) which I would fit slightly off centre (opposite from the heating lamp). I also have a reflector to assist.
The heating lamp is a 100W ceramic ''White Python'' brand.
@Gordon could you suggest a particular type of moss to put inside the Torte's hide area?
Thank you for all your feedback and advices it is thoroughly appreciated.
