A few more pics! [hr] 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? Catherine

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...
