Hello everyone! It’s been four months since last getting a shell health check in and wanted to see if things are improving in the right direction! In that 4 months the only thing that has changed is enclosure that permits for consistent 85%+ humidity at all times. My tort has also grown 1.5-2x their previous size! Four months ago I was told that mild pyramiding was noticeable so while there will be signs of that I’m hoping the new growth is better! I will also add an old photo for reference. IMG_0343 would be from December. These were taken while in a soak. Thank you so much for any and all input.

From what I can see, I think the shell does look better.

Keep up the good work!
