Matt, don't worry about this too much. With the exception of Russian tortoises (and I hope I'm wrong about them as well ultimately) no tortoise species in the wild will sustain consistent importation enough to supply the pet trade.
Spider tortoises are a good example. Huge influx of adults almost 10 years ago, only a certain percentage of which actually acclimated and did well in captivity, and finally only a smaller % of those which have gone on to sucessfully produce captive babies. Now importation has ceased and people have to rely on those who produce the captive offspring.
Stars were the same. All the 4inch plus so-called European captive bred animals poured into the country a few years ago and people sold them dirt cheap. Rarely did they establish well and now you hardly see those that you would identify as the imports. For those people who had the foresight to keep their adult mainland star groups I would say hold on a little longer because this will come around again and healthy captive mainlands will be in demand once again.
Pancakes should be similar to either of these. The imported adults will not establish all that well and the most likley people to be successful with them are the ones who already keep them and have a vested interest in maintaining their market value. My advice would be to pick some up. Diversify your bloodlines and hold on until they become scarce. It will happen. I can almost guarantee it. Good luck...
