Tom said:It looks like he started to pyramid before you got him, but the new growth is looking good. Looks to me like you have already stopped it.
Most breeders and sellers start them too dry and they can form the pattern for pyramiding in those first few weeks. The worse it is, the harder it is to stop. Looks like your was barely starting and that you've already stopped it. As he gets bigger, it will disappear entirely... You will have a fine looking adult.
In your pic, your substrate looks dry and I don't see a water bowl or humid hide. Theses three things are all keys to stopping and preventing pyramiding, as well as the daily soaks, sunning, good diet, calcium supplementation and exercise.
