That's pretty awesome, should they be able to stay together then? Also the biggest is close to 2x as big as the littlest is that ok to keep them together?

All female they are looking dry . Do you keep them outside? Spraying them with a misting system will keep the humidity up . It will also help with the pyramiding . What are you feeding these girls.

They are all rescues, I found the smallest one for sale on craigslist a few weeks ago and after informing them that she was not in the best shape, they gave me all 3 of them.
They were just outside for a trip to get some good sunshine today for a bit more than an hour. They live inside and I keep up the humidity 70-90% depending which tote they are in (right now they have 3 50 gallon totes combined together)
I have been feeding them a mixture of collard greens, mustard greens, kale, turnip greens, spring mix, and various lettuce. Plus mushrooms, and strawberries once each (I haven't had them for very long) as well as Mazuri a few times. Plus while they were outside they all ate some dandelions and Amelia ate some tall grass, which I wasn't expecting lol.

They came from a loving home but unfortunately love isn't quite good enough to keep a reptile healthy so now they are in better hands. The big one (Filia) and the little one (Lina) are very friendly and personable however the middle sized one (Amelia) is much more shy. She lets me pet her head but only if no one else is around, otherwise she pulls into her shell.

Yea, I have actually had Lina for 2 weeks longer than the others so it makes sense she is more friendly and active, and Filia is almost 11 inches so she is probably not scared of much at this point huh? haha. Amelia is probably just getting used to living here as well. At least they all have healthy appetites and drink all the time, no need to trick them into eating new types of greens, they are willing and eager to eat any haha.

Mine eats a lot after i bath him in the morning. Then he kinda waddles around for awhile and sits in a place to relax. Waddles around a little more. Then goes to bed pretty early

Same here, I know the old growth wont go away but it will be nice to see some smooth new growth on them.
