I keep G. pardalis in the very dry (extremely) California desert. Several good breeders do similar in Arizona. With a lot of work, you can change micro-climates, but why? If you can be interested, it makes sense, saves $ and is fun to work with species that sort of like the climate you have. Rather than try to make a wet climate dry, seize the opportunity to work with humidity tolerant species like red foots or Asian black/brown Emmys or elongated etc. I find it is simpler if you do, I wish I could keep Emmys but it just is not in the best interest for myself or the tortoises here in the desert. You might have the opposite situation...make the best of it! good luck, sorry I can't comment on keeping G. pardalis under humid conditions. vic h. (not the Vic who is an expert on Emmys)
