This is the one by two but the recommended size is 2 x 4 which is what we're moving him in

Hahaha!!!!!
Yes, the enclosure you have is too small. A bigger one is better for your tort baby.
Look for a closed enclosure to keep warmth and humidity in.
Do you turn out the light at night ? Tortoises need to sleep in darkness, but is has to be still warm. When you use a CHE ( ceramic heat emitter ) you can offer your tort warmth ( that he needs during night too ) and he can sleep in darkness.
Would you buy this bulb for him ?

Our house is already very warm and he stays warm and yes I turn off the light at night! Surprisingly he doesn't like light too much he sleeps in the shade anyway!haha!

And I do like having an open enclosure I do not like enclosed ones. I like being able to reach in easy. but thank you!
How warm is you house at night and how warm is it in his enclosure ? Be careful, young tort babies can get really easily sick when it is too cold.

also i Spray the encloser 4 times a day so it's nice and humid!
As long as you can keep the enclosure humid.
Otherwise he will pyramid.
Make sure you soak him often.

I soak him every day in warm water! For 15-30 mins
Spraying won't cut it, you need to pour in water and mix it by hand.
Moist, not wet and warm, always nice and warm.

I also regularly spray his shell. Of course being careful not to get it in his eyes.
