I’ll start updating my tortoises Health. Looking for your opinions on my tortoise Carapace, it seems that it has started Pyramiding correct me if I’m wrong.
I appreciate the Response.32202968-C718-41BB-81AA-CFBE79901C63.jpeg3F3A6F17-00C7-424C-A50C-E18287EDF9CB.jpeg3856EF81-4E14-425E-82B1-B44C06FE9ED5.jpeg7AD36300-EA41-4530-A034-2CB9308DEBFE.jpegA8039C95-43B7-4CF8-8BB8-F7C3F7B63720.jpeg

Looks pretty good to me but I'm still not convinced this is a Sulcata. How fast is it growing?

I saw something on someone's thread...maybe Donald's? I forget the owner's name. Anyway, after the tort "put himself to bed" the owner would put a wet washcloth on top of him to keep the carapace extra nice and moist throughout the night. Just one extra thing you could think about adding if you're that concerned.

thats a great idea, but my tortoise would just knock it out.thanks for that i really might try it out now that i changed the substrate the carapace seems more moist.

I can see what you're concerned about, looks like just the very beginning of pyramiding. But honestly, it's so minor and you monitor him so carefully, I'm not concerned.
