Sounds like Adam is doing it perfectly. Sounds like you are doing it perfectly. I don't see any obvious problem here. Sorry.
I guess the thing to do is wait and see. He might still just be settling in.
Went back and re-read. Your repti-glo tube... 18" tube, right? How close is it to the tortoise? How large is the enclosure? Maybe a pic of the enclosure will give a clue about something I am not thinking to ask.
Adam is right that not all hatchlings are going to make it, but in the vast majority of cases there is an obvious operator error from the breeder or new keeper. So far I see no operator error from either of you, so this is puzzling.
