Hello Everyone. I have had my Morla for 3 weeks now and am trying to figure our if she is pyramiding or not.I just changed (today) to cypres bedding rather than dirt and plants. Any help you can offer would be great. She is growing great starting out at 45g and weighing in today at 61g. She is my first tortoise and I am trying my darndest to do everything correctly. I know I need to change her light because this one is a cfl (I bought it before I found this forum).
I have also recently noticed the higher the temp, the lower the humidity. I have read all of the sulcata care sheets (multiple times) and am also wondering what max all-over temp I should seep her enclosure at. I am sure her basking spot is ok as it gets 100+ there. Thank you for all of the awesome info I have read on here!

It looks like it might be starting just /slightly/, or I’m crazy and it isn’t at all. What is your humidity?

It was between 64-80%. I just changed substrate as I had just dirt in there and it was a sloppy mess. I just changed to cypress mulch so I can keep it more wet in there and I have plexi class to put on the top rather than sweatshirts which I may still put on top for insulation. I am on unemployment until the 19th of next month so I am trying to use what I have until then. I have been buying 1 needed item a week for her, such as a thermometer and last week was the humidity guage so until then, I was unsure of what the humidity level was. She was a gift to me from my dad so I was not exactly prepared when I received her. I should probably take a pic of her from the side.
