I’ve read some articles and have been doing what they recommend, thankfully the pyramiding has stoped escalating but it’s not reducing. I’m starting to guess it might be genetic, but I’m not sure. Do you have any recommendations?oh and good luck fixing it! what are your plans?
Pyramiding is not genetic. It will not reduce, but the new growth can be healthy, which will help it level out. Soak him extra (multiple times a day) and keep him very very humid. Ive seen threads in which this worked, and the torts ended up looking pretty healthy.I’ve read some articles and have been doing what they recommend, thankfully the pyramiding has stoped escalating but it’s not reducing.

I did just finished it todayPyramiding is caused by lack of humidity almost entirely.
It's not genetic.
It doesn't go away.
However. It can be stopped. By having an enclosure with at least 75% humidity.
The pyramiding is not very severe.
I'm also in south Florida. So my suggestion would be to make a secure outdoors enclosure.

thanks!I also live in south Florida.
My Redfoot all live outdoors. All day. Every day. The weather, temperatures and humidity are almost perfect most of the year. (Except Winter when humidity gets below 50%) But I still get some mild pyramiding.
In fact some do and some don't.
Do the best that you can.
Mild external pyramiding does not mean internal health issues.
