Hello!
I'm so sorry for the influx of anxiety-ridden posts.
A bit of information:
I have a 1.5 year old Eastern Hermann's tortoise. He's 4.5 inches. I haven't weighed him in a few months, but I'm planning on doing that one day soon. He's in a 20-square foot enclosure. Basking temp is 90-95, ambient temp is around 80. Enclosure humidity is 80% during the day, 70%-75% at night. Nighttime temps are low to mid 70's. He has UVB that's usually on for ten hours a day, and his basking bulb/ambient lights are on for twelve to fourteen hours a day. He's on a mix of coconut coir and cypress mulch, about six-seven inches total. He gets a variety of greens every day (a rotation of romaine, arugula, collard greens, mustard greens, dandelion greens, escarole, endive, and clover, for the most part) and is soaked for at least thirty minutes per day, but usually I try to get give him an hour. He gets Mazuri pellets several days a week, as well as cuttlefish bone sprinkled on his food around 3x per week.
Lately I've been concerned that he may be pyramiding, and if so, I would really like to know so that I can prevent it from worsening, I've attached pictures, so if anyone could let me know if I have something to worry about, that would be amazing.
If the pictures aren't suitable, I can post more!
