ALDABRAMAN lives in Florida. The hot humid temps there are great for most tortoises including Aldabras. Congrats and where you getting him/her from and don't forget pics.
Take a look at some of his threads. He still soaks his babies and has heat for his adults for when the temps get too low. I will get him to post here if I can. @ALDABRAMAN

Humidity 70-100% Temps 75-95F. High humidity is a big part of keeping the shell growing smooth. Also remember the tortoise must be able to cool off in shade and/or water if it wants. These animals can overheat and die easily if not. Look at the weather data for the Aldabra Islands- this can be found online. Model the climate in a similar way. I am sure others will chime in with more info. This is just a short basic answer to your question. Hope it helps.

Ours do fantastic in Florida, we make sure they have assessable shade options and plenty of fresh clean water. Overheating is a real valid concern, however they thermal regulate themselves fantastically if given all the elements!

I'm going to keep them in a close chamber like monsteraldabra did and I'm going to buy good lightning, substrate, and the hidingm place for sure :). This week I am working on their enclosure and I think in the next few day or week it should be done and after all of the things are done, I am ready to have a new tortoise :)
