Are you looking for more reliable information about the Star tortoise species?
I am too, so please post on my thread any information, links, websites, and pics about the Star tortoises.
I am fortunate to own these 3 beautiful female Sri Lankans in the pics below. They are 10 months old and still no signs of pyramiding. Tom's warm-humid-closed enclosure posts were a big help.
A "Star Tortoise" book written by Jerry Fife, I highly recommend it, this also has information to avoid pyramiding, description below.
