I got an email from a lady today asking if I would take in two sullys, and when she arrive she had a desert tort 8 yrs, a turtle 10 yrs, and two 10 month old sullys. The three torts are pyramided but the Dt has started to grow smooth, hopefully with a better diet (no corn on the cob) they will grow smooth.
Here is the DT s/he is approx 10-12" and doesn't have any weight to him/her.
Here are the two sullys and my youngest showing one off. they are 4-5 & 1/2 inches.
Here is the turtle, her shell is really dry and curling up around the edges, my guess because she doen't have a pond, just a large water bowl.
The desert tort has damage around the front of the carapace from a boxer attack, and the two sullys have a deformity to the plastron from dog attacks when they were hatchlings, they have grown back but they are a little disfigured, hopefully it doesn't cause them problems as they get bigger.
