I am lucky in the climate we have here which is what desert tortoises need to thrive. Plenty of heat & sunlight. They originated from either Jordan or Syria as babies , then have been successfully breeding ever since. 28 all told. Started with 4 babies . 2 in 1992 & another 2 the year after. No pyramiding at all in the older ones, only slight bumps in the 4 years olds with red markings on their backs, they are even bigger than older ones. ( my fault for spoiling them) . Dunno about other species but for these chaps, this is the only thing that could possibly affect their pyramiding, & growth spurts. . Sorry !
