As it's a baby it's going to be nearly impossible until it nearly reaches 5. Unless you no what temperature the tort was hatched at then it's difficult to say, I believe between 32-33c males 33-35c females give or take. But even then it's not an accurate fact. Just enjoy the well been and worry about it as he/she grows older :) remember, as a baby keep temperatures nice and warm and feed daily with a mix of romaine lettuce dandelions Rose petals, little pieces of apple or ok on occasion as it is high in fibre :). There quite fun I have 3! 2 juveniles and a baby.
