I want to make sure my little leopard tort is as smooth as possible, so I have been reading the excellent thread by Tom on pyramiding in leopard torts.
One thing I don't fully understand is what actually pyramiding is. I know what it looks like, but how does it form? Is it the shutes not being shed properly, or is it the innards pushing out of the shell? Humidity to prevent it sounds very logical either way, I'm just curious about the physicallity of it as well.
