My tortoise button is currently 1 year and 7 months old I believe. He has a great appetite and I have greatly changed his set up since I first got him (he wasn’t in the best set up) he is currently 8 ounces I weighed him this morning after he was soaked. I cannot tell if he has early signs of pyramiding so I’d like to see other’s input on this please

I agree with ZEROPILOT. Slight pyramiding. Get his humidity upto 80% and don't use a murcery vapor bulb and it should stop. Once hes much larger it won't be noticeable if stopped now.

We need a profile pic to be able to see it. Any pic from the top or at an angle hides the pyramiding. We need a shot taken directly from the side, level with the tortoise. I see some pyramiding but I can't tell how much from the angle of your pics.

Have you seen this yet?
