Outdoor Lighting

The Sun is always the best light for your tortoise.  However, make certain they have shady spaces to hide and self-regulate.  
Also, make certain that your tortoise is protected from possible predators.

Indoor Lighting

We use a Mercury Vapor bulb that provides UVA, UVB, and heat, and set it on a timer for 12 hours a day. This gives the hatchling a place to bask, and we keep the basking spot temperature below 95 degrees.
We then put the light on a 
timer and automate everything you can.  Besides a reptile light timer a smart outlet may work better for you. ​

Temperature and Humidity

The majority of the space is 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit.
The warm humid hide is 80-90

Creating a Warm and Humid Area:

To create a warm and humid area, we've designed a plastic box on the left that contains long-fibered sphagnum moss, which we wet once a week. This creates a cozy and moist place for the hatchling to sleep and relax during the day, ensuring a smooth shell development. We use a Ceramic heat emitter attached to a thermostat to maintain a temperature of above 80 degrees, which keeps the humid hide comfortable for the hatchling. (Don't worry about the plastic box melting; there's a two-inch gap between the box and the heat emitter.)
