Hes out! Congratulations Eddie

Im not intending this the wrong way but if I may suggest: move the tile from under the heat lamp. My reasons are: they can get very hot. If baby upturns (as they do a lot) it would be harder to right themselves if your not around to help.

I find hatchlings prefer the warm side. So I provide soil deep enough to bury themselves ( 2 or 3 inches) and a reptile cave or 2 for them to hide in and feel safe. I water under the cave, place it near the lamp but not directly under and this provides a natural humid hide. My babies emerge with dewy shells in the morning and I find it keeps their shells smooth and them hydrated.
