Yes I soak her every day in warm water. I usualy do it at about 3:45pm when I get home from work and she just waits for me to pick her up and put her in water.Are you soaking her Gregor ? If not you might try daily soaking to rehydrate her . It doesn't really look that bad but soaking in warm water could help . I am sure others will chime in .
The new growth that is coming in looks really good. I suspect that what you are seeing there is left over from the time BEFORE you had her.
Are you spraying the shell several times a day?
My RF had the same issue, I moved the heat emitter further away from the substrate and increased the wattage to allow the heat to "cook" ( ) him more evenly without affecting the temps and drying him out so much.Yes she gets sprayed at least three times a day, if I am home all day she gets even more sprays.
But I just can't get her to sleep in humid hide. Temperature in hide is 88 F 95% humid, but she prefers to sleep a few inches from heat emitter (CHE). And that dries her carapace during the night.
If I put hide in that spot she will just move. I guess she likes to sleep under the "stars"
Oh, well, I love her anyway.
It does not look like the pyramiding has gotten any worse. I can't tell from the pictures but it looks like she had "active" pyramiding when you got her, where the area between the scutes has a V shape from the side. I think what you are seeing now is new (smooth) growth between the scutes, which looks more like a \_/ shape. As she gets bigger the pyramided scutes will space out more and you can easily tell if the new growth is smooth. Sulcatas grow fast, you won't need to wait very long.Picture below is what she looked like when I got her.
Orchid bark if it's available in your country. It's basically a fir bark that holds moisture very well.Just an update. My Sulcata IS growing smooth, with every new growth ring.
But I need to change the substrate, because this coco coir contains some sort of dye. Her skin turned all dark, and water in water dish turns brown every time she walks trough.
So what kind of bedding should I get? Coco coir is to messy.
