I would use that dish for his water so he can soak and just get rid of the red one
Yes my thermometer can read the humidity levelyou may consider using something else besides a tank further down the road, or putting something in place so that the little guy cant see out sometimes it stresses them out. there are tons of great ideas in the enclosure section.
i recommend a 50 gal tote with appropriate lighting to start. its inexpensive and much larger when what you currently have. you have the right idea having a hide, and a thermometer. i cant tell, but does it read humidity?
What type of substrate is that? The pieces look too big for him.Update so I went out and bought substrate for my tortoise is this good enough or should I change it around a little more?

The substrate that's in there is called repti barkI agree with big Charlie! Cypress isn't my favorite if that's all you have in the enclosure. I use a mixture of peat moss, organic soil, and coir for hatchlings. Just remember a rule of thumb....Happy Habitat makes a happy turtle.......if not you don't want them to show you they are not happy...it's usually by being sick. FYI
