So we upgraded my Rolo to a new indoor space. It’s 2ft by 4ft and I’m at a lost at what my temps should be. I know what they should be but I’m having a difficult time on how to get it and keep it constant. She’s currently 6 months and the breeder bred or hoped for females so we call it a she! She’s grown crazily in the 2 months we had her and needed to get a bigger space where the walls are also taller. We keep her in the kitchen where she’s used to the everyday traffic!!! She is very social and eats from my hand everyday. We leave her alone but we also include her in our everyday lives! I’ll post pictures to show it. It’s not entirely done. I don’t have the plants and wood in it. She’s in there. Currently buried. I think it may be too hot. I’m not for sure. Please let me know!? I took a pic to show that it is not dry.

I should say it’s constant but I’m unsure of if it’s too lit up and too warm? The ceramic is not on. I turn on at night.

I can't open your pics where I am right now (Weak internet…), but temps and other housing aspects are explained here:
https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/russian-tortoise-care-sheet.80698/

Ambient temps should be somewhere around 80 during the day with a basking area that reaches 95-100, and over night lows should drop to the low 70s or high 60s for a baby.

I think the only way you are going to get the right temps and humidity for a baby, is with a closed chamber.
