A Day of Digging

[Rhyno47]

After a long day of diggle Isaac takes a breather.

You can see where his pyramiding has recently stopped. A thin flat strip of shell has grown between the pyramided parts.

That's a great clear picture. Yep, you can see the new healthy growth. Pretty soon because he was so young you won't be able to see any unhealthy growth...

Thanks. Im so happy about this new shiney strip. I hope it continues.

How old is Isaac? How did you get his new growth to be healthy? Was it humidity in the hide? Diet? Supplements? I'd love to know!

He is about 5 months. His tub is at 75%ish. He digs so its more in his burrow. He eats lettuce and Mazuri. And some calcium with D3.

Studies show that humidity is the huge key to pyramiding, and that diet, exercise, etc, are secondary.

 

[Isa]

It looks like he worked very hard adorable!
