Very high, around 80-100%. You should also have a temperature gradient in your enclosure, with one basking end being around 90f and a darker, more humid end around 80f. At night temps can drop by 10 degrees respectively in each location. Be sure that your tort has a log or hut on the cool end that she/he can burrow under. Redfoots live near/in the tropical forests of South America, they like it warm, humid, and not too bright.

Current Collection:
0.2.0 Red-Footed tortoise (Geochelone carbonaria) [Millie and Gertrude]

R.I.P.:
0.1.0 Chinese Water Dragon (Physignathus cocincinus) [Sultan]
0.0.3 Western Fence Lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) [No names]
