He definitely has a heat pad. The only light I use is a small desk lamp pointed upward, with a dimmer to dim the light as the day goes on.
Also, he has one hot hide, one cool hide, and one humid hide. He uses his humid hide enough that I don't think soaking will be necessary. He's shed twice without any problems. I do check his toes after, and they seem alright.
Thanks for the extra advice! He's been pretty active lately, so I might start opening up the cage to "pet" him on the back when he's out and about.
That way, he can get use to the idea of me being around and handling him in the future.
