Is my sulcata tortoise pyramiding and is his color okay?

Okay, I'm getting something built and for the humidity do you recommend getting a humidifier and putting it on a timer?

If you were to build a "closed chamber" you would not need a humidifier. Once introduced, heat and humidity are trapped inside the chamber. Occasional maintenance is then required to keep the humidity level where it should be.

Here are some examples of closed chambers:

And here is the most recent closed chamber experiment by Tom:
