This year I am moving away from home and attending vet school at ohio state university. I've had a lot of experience with herps and currently have a 25 lb and a 10 lb sulcata at home with my folks that are also into herps. I would like to get a little tort to take with me that would comfortably live in a 20 long for 6-9 months while im in school. As for long term housing my folks will be able to handle it/them if my place gets too small because they are too big. that is until i get out of school. Research has led me to pancakes or indian stars (spiders seem great too but seem a lot more pricy--if they are in the 400-500 range let me know). I'd prefer a star, but ive heard that they can be sensative to humidty, but if i only offer a shallow dish with a screen top with they still be too humid? Could i fix that situation by only offering water once or twice a day for an hour or so? Pancakes seem great too, but they lack the typical tortoise look, so id prefer a star--also when is the usual time of year to find hatchling stars offered? I've only seen older ones recently. Thanks

Justin
