@Markw84 @TammyJ Also I just received new information. So the previous owner said he have kept it for 10 months from 13cm. That means it has grown 10cm over the past 10months which is 1cm each month. I have kept alot of torto and I havent seen growth that fast. I asked what the diet: he said its...

HI Mark, thank you so much for your thorough answer and explanation. I see; so in that case what will it look like in the future? Do you happen to have any references? Also Ive attach another photo of a radiated (below, 30cm) which has quite pyramiding but the angle of the valley is not as...

Im not too sure, but its a male 23cm. I know they can grow up to 40cm, hence Im hoping the pyramiding can get lesser with new growth :)

Thank you for your reply. Yes. so far all my tortoise that Ive kept does not have pyramiding :)

HI Everyone, I recently acquired a new male radiate tortoise. It has extreme case of pyramiding because it was given diet mostly on pellets and bad humidity. Its 23cm. Can he improve? Because I know males can go above 35cm. Will such pyramiding cause any defects in the future? such as walking...

thank you for your reply. So based on your perspective, how bad is the pyramiding? Would it affect movement in the future?

Hi Everyone, Recently, a friend of mine gave me this radiated tortoise. It is a male and the size is 29cm. I know that males can grow up to 40cm. So is there any possibility that the pyramiding will get better (smooth out) overtime?

Hi everyone, Background information: so I have a leopard tortoise which Ive kept for about 1.5 yrs. When I bought him he was arond 130grams and now he is arond 250grams. The problem: The first month he was fine (eating all sorts of greens and vegetables). Then he got sick with runny nose...

Hi all, Ive just recently acquired an 11cm Cheeryhead, im trying to determine if its a male or a female? I know its probably too small to determine, but i think its a female. What do you all think? Thanks

I have a question (more like a comparison), hopefully someone can shed a light on this: for easy comparison, say from a 30cm height (12 inches) isnt it the same for example: Exoterra UVB150, 13Watt with Exoterra UVB100 26Watt in terms of UVB the first one it has a high level of UVB but low...

Thanks for your reply. Thats good to hear. I have another leopard which is 3.5inches aswell but weighs 180g. I thought the 150grams was underweight. Until i saw, that the 180g leopard its “body” legs is sort of looks like it doesnt fit with its body when i flip it (so this must be overweight)...

Hi, I have a 9cm (3.5 inches) leopard that weighs 150g (5.5 ounces). Is this normal? Thanks

HI, I want to ask. I have a 9cm leopard tortoise. He wont eat any greens (grass, weeds, vegetables). The only thing he'll eat is mazuri pellets or any greens that have been coated with mushed (wet) pellets. I dont want him to be dependent on pellets. Thus, should I just give him greens and...

thanks for you reply. Hopefully it is just a scab. He's been super active and eating ravenously :)

Hi, I have a sulcata. When it first came it has a small bump or growth that is red/pinkish in color. Now the bump have turned into dark brown. I attached a picture for reference. What is it? and what should i treat it with?
