yeah also it wasnt hard as some of the people said but damn i got like $40 left lmao
Yep, I have spent over 100 dollars an inch on my little box turtle baby, and I haven't even been able to start his outdoor enclosure yet.

Proper turtle/tortoise care is not cheap. (Although IMHO reptile supplies seem to be a bit overpriced, but maybe that's just me.)

if you mean cover the light I’m not exactly sure if it’s too bright for your hatchling you might want to cover the surroundings. I would ask other members about that. If it is too bright you can turn off the bulb and take your hatchling outside for an hour and the tort would get the uvb light that he/she needs.

Yea, I would raise the bulb that would be a good idea. I’ve heard that sometimes owners don’t even use the uvb light. But, they make up for that by adding lots of vitamin D to their food.

Have you followed everything on the care sheet given to you? Temps ok? Humidity? If you just brought the baby home its gonna take a lil bit for him to get comfortable. If ur face stuck into the enclosure looking at him then hes not gonna eat. Get all ur temps and humidity correct, give him his soaks everyday and give him some time to settle in.
