I have 22 animals and my vet bill (touch wood) is very small indeed. Research is the key and it's so easy with the net these days, there is no excuse.

Ive done lots of reseach on their natural habitat and you are 100%correct, infact keeping tortes too hot all the time will make them go into estavation mode and they will just sleep all the time. At this time of year they are fine in their coldframe the tube heater never comes on as its set for 5c and the basking lamp is only switched on if the temps are real bad for a few days. |

Don't know about leps and redfoots but an open top or mesh at the top seems best for my gracia tortoise. Think the exchange of air is more healthy myself and since the sides are high enough no problem with escaping like there would be with other climbing reptiles!
