Somewhere around 80% is the best...

the higher the better in some cases.

I have had the best results keeping it above 80% and an ambient of 80 degrees 24/7. I also provide a 100 degree basking spot for 12-14 hours each day. I also sun mine almost every day for 1-10 hours depending on their age and the weather. Once they are 6-8" I move them outside with a temp controlled shelter, full time.

I'm just one guy who keeps tortoises and has one opinion. I learn more from the other people on this site than they learn from me by far. Others do it differently than me and have success too.

Thanks for the compliment...

85% humidity is the optimum if you can get there. A 90 degree basking spot for a baby, 100 degrees for a yearling. 80 degrees ambient air temp. We all have different opinions on keeping babies. That doesn't mean anybody is wrong or right...just different...
