Age guess/pyramiding?

[Fire_bug80]

Your baby is undersize for its age due to the incorrect start it had before you got it, but you are past the "danger zone" point of 50 grams. As long as nothing terrible happens, your baby should live and grow up to be a giant.

My enclosure is around 99% humidity. Is that too much??

Where is it 99% and how are you measuring? Its not easy to get 99% humidity in a tortoise enclosure in most cases.

I have a digital hygrometer in the front/middle. On the substrate

Set it in a few different areas for an hour at a time, and see how it changes. It will always be high when resting on damp substrate. Try setting it on top of the hide.

Good idea

I think for a sulcata it’s too soon to tell and worth waiting until they’re a bit bigger to say for sure, let’s see what others think though😊
Also to sex them, it’s better to have a photo of the tortoises plastron(belly lol)and tail, don’t flip them on back to do this as that can be stressful, but hold them vertically so we can see all underneath, and get someone to snap a quick photo🙂
