Pyramiding?

[ariealexis87]

I'm new to raising tortoises and Im concerned that his/her shell is pyramiding!? Does shell look healthy?

He looks fine. Just to be clear: "pyramiding" is not unhealthy. It's just the way a tortoise's shell grows when he's kept in too dry conditions.

Yes. You've got some pyramiding going on there. Want to talk about how it happens and how to stop it?

I followed your post regarding enclosed systems when Koopa was teeny. She’s 9”
Now and still smooth. Thank you so much @Tom
