Nice. Yes, pyramided, but not the worst i'v seen. As long as housing, humidity, temps, diet, exercise etc is good, it's all cosmetic.

While his shell may not be the smoothest, it appears to have nice vibrant colors. He looks very alert and healthy, nice tort! Coconut husk chips you have is a great substrate that reatains moisture for a long time if you soak it in water. Since he is growing it may aid to new growth coming in smoother along with other proper husbandry practices.

Very nice one. His pyramiding is really little noticeable. It is always more difficult to raise them indoors than outdoors.
