I have a question why do you have the clear stuff over top

Good question. It's to keep the heat and humidity inside. You want to aim for 85-90F ambient and basking light around 100F. Humidity should be at least 80% to avoid pyramiding. Look up care sheets to meet your specific type of tortoise and aim for those temps and care.

It keeps the heat and humidity in. Especially important with the little ones.
