HI all, Has anyone ever purchased a plastic hide box that has a recessed top that allows for a ceramic pottery tray. You can pour water into it and it soaks the pottery and creates a more humid hide? Pros/Cons? thanks

Hi, My tortoise is a year and nine months old. I know it is normal for tortoises to have a slightly pink plastron, however how pink is too pink to the point that I should be concerned. I don’t want to make a long trip to the vet for them to tell me everything’s fine..... is this normal ?
