Hi guys my temps at the moment are 32.9c under his lamp and 24.8c in the rest of the inclosure are these temps ok ? It's just Henry's recovering from soft shell and he's really improved want temps to be right as I've got a new lamp and 53% humidity

What kind of tortoise? Those temperatures sound reasonable. Some keep the temperature under the heat a little higher but I don't find it necessary if the ambient temperature in the cage is high enough.

I don't keep any of the Testudo group but understand they don't need as high a basking temperature as the African tortoises. Your temps sound pretty good.
