I’m afraid his mouth is causing him to not wanted to eat so much!!
Please tell me I’m tripping and he just needs time??

It just looks dark to me that’s all!The coco coir will expand as you add water to it, so don’t worry. It will do for now.
Since you only have one thermometer/hygrometer so far, I would first put it on the warm side, then slowly move it over to the cooler side. Once you’ve measured every area, then just place it wherever the tortoise is. I’m not an expert on this, so I can’t really give you any other advice.
I can’t really see exactly what is wrong with Coco’s mouth because the picture is blurry, but it looks like a green food stain. If it is, it’s nothing to worry about. It’ll come off after a couple of warm soaks.
After the coco coir is loosened and moist, pack it down in the enclosure so it will be less messy. You want it to be slightly damp to provide humidity. You don’t want it to be dry.To many threads so I started a new one!
Do I need to leave his substrate outside for a couple minutes for it to dry?
Sounds good! That was my overall question!!After the coco coir is loosened and moist, pack it down in the enclosure so it will be less messy. You want it to be slightly damp to provide humidity. You don’t want it to be dry.

How often should I spray the substrate and how often does it need to be replaced ?I don’t think this light is warm enough!..without light on its 78 inside! Same as the room!
Ima look at the temp tomorrow in the morning to see what the temperature is!
If youake sure you like
If you must shop for greens at the store make sure you like them as well. You will be having salads right along with this little beauty and won't waste much. Also since you live in Vegas, I don't think you will need a UVB light unless he never goes outside. Good luck and welcome!
I have the one from Home Depot but I’m a little Lost on how to use it lol

Perfect!! I will!You should be using the timer to turn the basking light on at 8 or 9 every morning.
After it's been on for at least an hour, get a rock or a brick...something that's roughly the same height as Coco. Put the rock or brick directly underneath the lit basking light. Put your new thermometer on top of the rock or brick. Leave it alone for an hour. Check the temperature. Post that temp when you come online.
I’m gonna do it again cause I think I think I messed up!Have you figured out the timer? It's easy.
Plug the basking light into the timer.
Read the directions on how to set it.
Plug the timer into the wall.
You're all set!
This is what it reads! He’s soaking!You should be using the timer to turn the basking light on at 8 or 9 every morning.
