Okay I will work on getting the humidity higher with that and yes a 10.0 uvbDo you mean spraying with a spritzer bottle? Right on, It's great for dust control, additionally I add water with a cup and mix it up, not soggy, but moist all the way through. A spritzer bottle wont moisten deeply enough or provide long lasting enough humidity imo.
Do you mean 10.0 uvb or a mercury vapour bulb?
Some members have reported clamps failing. Good to reinforce with zip ties or a screw bracket, hose clamp etc.

Okay so just one last question is it okay if he sleeps so much during the day like 90% of the dayMine sleeps in the identical position all the time They love to sunbathe apparently
it’s okay if he falls asleep like this ?
Lol does yours sleep majority of the day too ?Mine sleeps like that too! I know he won't, but I worry he'll get a neck cramp or something. haha?
Haha! Great photo. Reminds me of my teenage drinking daysMine sleeps in the identical position all the time They love to sunbathe apparently
I got mine at a pet shop it wasn’t that cheap, in my opinion it also depends on the type of tortoise you are looking forWhere are some cheap options to get smaller tortoises
Definitely get that humidity up and soak him safely (not too high of water, right temp), no matter if he hates it. Over time, he may come to like it--Morla did! Now she sometimes kicks to stay in!Okay I will work on getting the humidity higher with that and yes a 10.0 uvb
Have been giving soaks they go better now and I spray the enclosure more often and have been feeding every other day have been feeding him mustard greensDefinitely get that humidity up and soak him safely (not too high of water, right temp), no matter if he hates it.

Hydration is surely important and my Russian tort bears the outcome of chronic dehydration--she was diagnosed with CKD (chronic kidney disease) shortly after I got her. This will tragically shorten her life. I don't think the people who had her bf ever soaked her, and they did not feed her correctly either.
