Pyramiding Sulcata Update

[JohnnyDigester]

Hello everyone, figured I'd post an update to show you some progress with 2 of my rescued sulcatas. Last post was in April, it is now September, I'm assuming these guys had stunted growth, as they were soft like play dough when I got them and didn't grow much at all until now. Anyway here's some pics of the great new smooth growth, the smaller one is growing smooth but seems to have 2 spots where the scutes are kinda growing sharp and sticking out, don't know what that's about. Enjoy the photos. Your thoughts, opinions, and advise are much appreciated.

Boy. What a mess.
It's great of you to step in and try to give a better life for them.

let's see if I can link to the original post... http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/the-end-of-pyramiding.15137/page-37#post-1293325 you can see what they looked like back in April. 5 or 6 months and they are growing very well.
