First time new Hermans Tortoise owner

Hi, first time Tortoise owners!
We got our 9 month old Hermans Tortoise called Truck a week ago and we're in love
I have researched a lot online for weeks but find contradictory information. Truck is in a Tortoise table with a combined basking/heat lamp and Komodo tortoise eco terrain substrate.
I was concerned about the level of humidity that is needed and also should I make a humidity hide?, I do spritz the table with water in the morning and evening.
The temperature under the basking/heat source at shell height is 33.4 Β°c to 34 normally, the other end is about 30Β°c and the built in hide is about 28.
I've been putting Komodo nutri cal on the food every couple of days and bath him every day. I also would like to know is ok to put him out in a enclosure in the garden supervised?
Thanks
