Hey guys, just wanted to do a little check in to make sure everything looks healthy with my little guy. He’s been getting so much sunlight and just sprouting so fast ☺️

Looks pretty good except it looks to be pyramiding. Is he in a closed chamber with high humidity?
If you get things correct asap, you can stop the pyramiding from getting worse.

So cute at that size. You looking for slow smooth shell growth, you can see new growth on the shells. I suggest you weight weekly and keep a log. This is a great help to monitor weight gain and be loss which is not obvious. Enjoy your tort.

His indoor enclosure is a closed chamber at night but in the summer I keep him outside during the day, it’s pretty humid here in the summers. Do I need to have a closed chamber outside as well?

No not outside. Is it possible the angle of the pic? Otherwise it could be the way he was started before you recieved him or just not humid enough outside. Keep the humidity up and it should stop. Once they start it's hard to get it to stop.
