Oh! You said it was in the cart...I'm easily confused. ?Let me explain, this tort was handed over to me by someone who couldn’t take care of him anymore! The lid is the original! I guess he thought it needed holes for him to breath!
Let's put that on hold for a bit...
Your life would be much easier, and your tort better off, if he was in a closed chamber enclosure. That means that the top is covered...there is nothing open to the room air. It makes it easy to maintain the heat and humidity he needs.
This is the easiest way for you to do that. It's called a grow tent. Here are a couple pics of them being used, and an Amazon link. We have a member who can walk you through the entire process of setting it up.

If you are able to get this now, order it. It will solve so many problems and you won't buy anything that won't be used. Your tort should be able to live in this until he's big enough to live outside full time.
If you're willing, order this tonight. Then we can get him all set up.
