i decided the pros might outweigh the cons so i did take him out yesteday for a small soak. he had been in his enclosure for three days with high end humidity(but still within range), and here he is after his soak before i put him back in.
i do think he is looking less crispy and perhaps even a better color... although of course i may have a bias since i am just happy he is in a good environment now!!
now just to wait until friday(one week mark) to offer food. i am expecting him to deny the first but hoping at the following week he will take it.
He looks plumper to my 'biased' eyes
How long was he soaking for and was there a lid on or did you watch him in an open container ??
