Default 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.
