Any pictures of the enclosure? What type lights are you using? What are the 4 temps. You need to give a lot more info so it can be narrowed down.

Basking area is 100, cool side is 82, and humidity is 76.

What type of bulb are you using in the dome? Do you have any night heat, I think it's getting cold at night. I don't think you can hold the heat and humidity in that screen top. And it will filter some of the UVB from your lights.

I don't see a water dish you need to add a humid hide

You need night heat, if your humidity is as high as you say and you don't have any heat in there at night, that baby is going to get sick.

Does he keep his eyes closed when you pick him up?

Yeah for a bit

My suggestion is you need night heat, CHE on thermostat to keep him warm. Is that other light for UVB?

Yeah I just got the tortoise last week, so I wasn't prepared but I'm trying to maintain it.
