Having an accurite or anything to properly read the humidity will help you know if your humidity is high enough.
If you're worried about your tort not having enough humidity then you can make a humid hide.
But usually once the top layer dries out well though then it's time to add some more water, or at least mix up the top into the rest and have it start over again.

You can use a piece of slate or anything. I have to use two paver stones because my tort is pretty big. You should be able to get away with one stone or even a collection of decently sized flat stones. :)

Yes that would help as a humidity hide. Many stuff it with moss, others just spray it. Wither way make sure its warm in the box, so maybe keep it on the warm side.
Also, covering the top some helps hold humidity and heat in.

I do that with mine when i think the AC inside is going to drop the heat with my russians lower than i want.
Just figure out which works best for you & your little tort

Its hard to tell without an accurate thermometer. I would say keep both covered for now. Once you get the new thermometer/hygrometer, you'll know whats needed
