is my ornate wood turtle pyramiding ?

[enchilada]

Have it for about 5 years , kept outside year round . He spend the day in the pond and sleeps under bushes at night .
I don’t think ornate wood should have high doomed carapace like this ?

 

[mark1]

females have a pretty high domed shell . she looks healthy to me , very pretty ...….I think your , I assume , girl could be smoother , i'd guess diet . does she eat a lot of protein ? she doesn't look excessively large for 5 yrs old …. you do see that a lot , way worse in some of these captive raised turtles that folks push growth on ……....

I don’t target feed her . I either prepare a buffet food tray on land for all the semi aquatic turtles to eat or toss pellets in the pond to feed the fish and water turtles . She also likes to grazing leafy greens grows on land .

I love those tall, solid walls... No snakes, no alligators, no foxes, no dogs, no coyotes, no skunks.....

Because the grocery store dumpster down the road offers way better buffet than my yard
