Hey guys, so my redfoot Heidi has what looks like Pyramiding but instead of humps on the shell, they're more like dents. Answers? PXL_20220213_094235045.PORTRAIT.jpg

What kind of enclosure do you keep her in? Temperature and humidity? What is she fed?

Could be some sort of metabolic bone disease, but we gotta wait for the smarter ppl to tell for sure.

i'd guess improper care at a very young age ..... i had a r.p.manni hatch out in an indoor enclosure , the adults were taken outside for the summer in may ........ she wasn't there when i took them out ........., she received absolutely no water , minimal light and cooler temps for at minimum may-nov , her scutes did exactly what i see on your redfoot ....she is here today and is somewhere around 20yrs old , they did remain inverted somewhat , she's the only one here that looks like that ..............
