Thanks for the reply looks like may need to get the tools out again lolWelcome! You won’t be able to maintain humidity in an open top table. You need a closed chamber. Some people have built frames from things like pvc pipes and then hung sheets of plastic from them (like a shower curtain). Just be mindful of the lights as you don’t want a fire hazard.
Babies need high humidity. The requirement will lessen as he grows olderI was under the impression that a tortoise table was the way to go so should I change to a riv ?
I heard orchid moss is great for humidity. Kamp Kenan gives a great setup video for small and large tortoise, I would definitely suggest checking out some of his videos
Thanks for your opinion but I've actually been using the "Orchid Moss" for a while now, for my baby sulcata, and it's been just fine. No pyramiding so far and great for humidity. And Kamp Kenan tortoise setup video is actually really good. [emoji5]Orchid bark, not orchid moss. Moss will usually be eaten.
I definitely wouldn’t recommend Kenan. While he is very interesting, and obviously cares a lot about his animals, he doesn’t give out very good tortoise advice

View attachment 241459 I made a tent like frame out of wood, and covered it in a shower curtain, and put some on the side. I open and close it with the front flap, and I use Velcro to secure it View attachment 241460View attachment 241461

I am actually super proud and jealous of your set up
Totally awesome set up
