Hey i aquired my first Red- Tail at a reptile store in Houston about ayear ago and she is doing great. I had always thought and always heard that Red-Tails do not require misting or much humidity. They need about 60-70% humidity. Living in houston where it is very humid I thought would be enough. But a few weeks back you were able to see the skinfolds on the animal. I immediatley knew this was a sign of dehydration so I have been misting her cage twice daily every day since and she is doing well.
I know people who have kept red-Tails in my area and have never had to worry about humidity. So maybe it is the animal. If you want an animal that you know for sure will be the best of the best try BobClarks website.
