I usually move mine around to see the different temperatures in the enclosure

Welcome to You and Barney! Get a infrared temp gun. That way you can check different areas quickly. Pics of your enclosure will also help us guide you in the right direction.

Put the probe down low, but high enough to be out of reach of the tortoise, and put it far away from all the heat sources.

Here is the current and correct care info:
