I'm aware they have shell pyramiding going on. But I'm wondering how do they look in terms of the skin on their head, their eyes, beak, etc?


Also I have no idea how old they are. I definitely think they are more than a year.

He doesn't look sick in the pictures, but as you mentioned, pyramiding is happening and you could tell us about the conditions of husbandry and diet, with particular attention to humidity and soaking. He certainly is cute! ☺️

They means more than one. If you have time do not house them together. Otherwise if you have one IT looks fine. Be sure to house in high humidity to stop the pyramiding from getting worse.

Would you mind sharing how he’s kept? It can help members make sure you’re in the right direction to stop further pyramiding😊

What are your different temp readings? Ie basking temp(directly under the bulb), overall day temps, night temps?
What kind of basking bulb are you using specifically? Packaging photos are good if you have any
What’s your indoor uv type?
How’s humidity reading?
What kind of substrate?

If you’re willing to share more a photo of the full set up would wonderful! Welcome to the forum🐢💚
