The last reading my acurite digital hygrometer/thermometer showed when I found him was a high of 90 and a low of 77. That particular acurite is mid enclosure so it would've been cooler on the other side away from his heat source. He was found dead half way under his warm side hide. It really is...
When I got him home from the show 01-14-16 he weighed 82g I weighed him 03-10-16 and he weighed 101g he steadily put on weight the whole time I had him. I fed him mainly Sulcata grass and broad leaf seed I grew in trays with grassland tortoise pellets and spring mix occasionally.
I was at work for two days before I came home to find him dead but she fed him some spring mix and Sulcata grass clippings. I got him from the reptile super show in Pomona ,CA.

Beautiful torts you got there btw! I have a Desert tort who had a squeaking wheezing problem a couple months ago. What I did to treat it myself was I boiled a pot of water add some Vix vapor rub and essential eucalyptus oil put it in a large plastic tub and put the tort in a smaller plastic tub...
My Sulcata hatchling makes that clicking sound when he eats. I don't think it's anything to be worried about. I think it's just their beaks clicking together. He eats like a horse and is very active. As long as they are eating and behaving normally I wouldn't worry too much.
