Hi, and welcome to the forum!
For a baby like yours, you really need him to be in a closed chamber enclosure inside. It needs a top to keep in the heat and humidity that needs to be maintained 24/7. Maintaining the heat and humidity is impossible with an open top.
I'd suggest you get something built properly for the purpose. Read this post...it will tell you about different options.
Hi! New here
Hey! I am looking for the "frequently asked questions" and do not see it. Can someone guide me? Thankswww.tortoiseforum.org
The grow tents are turned onto their side for tort use, so you need to use that to figure the size. They come in lots of sizes from Amazon, and are reasonable in price, and work well.
The enclosures built by Markw84 are the most beautiful of all. They are modular...you can buy a regular size at first, then when your baby outgrows it, you buy an add-on to double the size. They come prewired with fixtures and are "smart". If interested, PM Mark and he'll send you the info.
Well… now I want one??
