Does he need to have humidity and I have Oof it coveredPlease give us pictures of your tortoise and enclosure.
There is no way to hold humidity in an open enclosure, which is likely what you have.
Where is it reading 88? Under the basking spot, ambient, warm side, etc? You need the entire enclosure to be no less than 80, with a 95-100 degree basking spot.

YesBy container, do you mean your enclosure? Is it tall enough for your heat lamps?
But when you feed and moisten and soak him do you loose all the humidityBy container, do you mean your enclosure? Is it tall enough for your heat lamps?
