Looks good, you've done well growing him/her.

Thanks! She's wonderful. Never thought I could love a tortoise like this. She does have some very slight pyramiding - but must be from fast growth as the moisture level in her habitat is 70% (usually) and she gets 20 minutes soaks twice a day. Now she's starting to get marbling. Which I look forward to and hope she ends up looking as cool as @Pearly 's tortoise looks.

Your Julliet is absolutely beautiful and has no pyramiding whatsoever. She is soooo much smoother then mine. Look at my Shellie her growth is "ridgy", kept in closed chamber first year with daily outing/sunning for 1/2-1 hr, and second year few hrs outdoors daily.

ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1498337355.722763.jpg Tucker is a bit smaller (7" and few oz over 2 lbs) but neither is perfectly smooth like some of Craig's (@Anyfoot) and others. My Two also wishing everyone a great Saturday evening

Pearls, I'm in the same boat as you, some of mine are perfect and some have minor pyramiding. I'll see how my latest hatchlings grow, if not 100% smooth then it's back to the drawing board.

I just love the marbling. Juliet isn't completely smooth. If you run your hand over her shell you can feel slight pyramiding. Yours look great! Thank you for your kind words. I love this tortoise. Just wish she could stay small forever.

Nice nova/sunburst pattern on shell.
