I have a hide at the cool end with a damp sponge on the roof of the hide to keep it humid.

I suggest that the humid hide be on the warm end to encourage the tortoise to use it.

He does seem to use it goes there most nights, built table witrh a hide and that at cool end. I will be building a new one soon so will take that into consideration

If you can move the lamp... a member on this forum came up with the idea of placing the heat source near the entrance of the hide. This is probably the most natural arrangement.

Thank you all for responses which have been very helpful and reassuring.

Can anybody point me towards some pictures of humid hides that they've made please?
