Well, my theory is that they don't spend a lot of time soaking in a bathtub, either, so they wouldn't have *excess* moisture to deal with in the wild. They have higher humidity in a burrow which is good for them, but they are also not actually wet, so would be unlikely to develop tail rot. I figure the soak/blowdry is a reasonable accomodation since I can't get a good enough microclimate in the tank to have such varied humidities with enough control to be able to avoid respiratory infections.

Any other thoughts?
