- Gave tortoise a shallow warm bath

2 yo Egyptian tortoise (new). Sleeping a lot (22+ hrs. day). At night sleeps in hide, at day wakes up walks over to favourite spot which is 88-90. He's eating normally. Wondering if this is normal behavior?
Temperatures:
- Basking: 95f
- Day (High/Low): 75-90
- Night: 70
Thoughts on either of these for a baby tortoise? Either indian star or egyptian.
