Cherry Head Red Foots
Hi all,
I quite like the look of the CHRF.I would like to get maybe 1 or 2 in the future (If Mother says yes) but i have a few Questions first! What do/can they eat? What Temperatures do they need to be kept What Humidity? What UV%? What is the best housing for young Cherry Heads? Best Substrate? and How big can they get? Thanks |

They can eat anything...
70 to 90F... Humidity does not matter... a humid hide is benificial. Housing... a large terrarium or tortoise table. Substrate... Sand... soil/sand... mulch... anything actually. Depending on the race...12 to 36+ inches SCL.
