I am inheriting a 5 year old red footed tortoise from a teacher that is moving. I am new to tortoise ownership, but have been doing lots of research. It looks to have some (bad?) pyramiding. What can be done to mitigate this as I take over ownership so that it doesn't get worse. I do know that there wasn't a UVB lamp in his enclosure, so I plan to add that, but it has always lived outside during summers. But any other advice would be welcomed! I don't currently have possession of him yet, but will in about 2 weeks. Thanks! (picture below)
