I've been wondering this since I got into the hobby.
I read so many unfortunate stories about new keepers getting hatchlings from breeders/vendors who don't start them off humid. Most of these stories result in the tortoise not surviving. This was my first experience too, sadly.
However some of these torts certainly must survive, right? Or do they all fail?
I wonder what the success rate is. I doubt this is a number we will ever really know, but I would love to hear some thoughts.
