One more question...I thought this was a low-humidity species. How much humidity does this guy need? I have been soaking, but do I need to keep his substrate moist? I have several humidifiers (warm, cool, etc). Does he need one?

Thanks! So want can I do to get my guy on the right track? He lives in a 2x3.5 foot enclosure for now and has dry coconut bedding (about 2 inches). He gets soaked several times a week and soaks himself several times a week, also. The room he is in is not humid and averages about 80-85...

Hi everyone. My name is Catherine and I am a new pancake owner in Ohio. I've attached a picture of our little guy, Jack. I have been using this forum to find lots of info on habitat, diet, etc. I'm sure I will have lots more questions soon!
Hi all, I am a new owner of a young Pancake Tortoise. I have been lurking around the tortoise forum for information on lighting, habitat, and diet in the weeks before his arrival, and you all were a big help! We have had him for a week, and he is doing great. Loves to eat and sleep. We live...
