"Those are some of the smoothest sulcatas I've seen in captivity. Thanks for the link."

The only smooth shells appear to be on the large adults they they probably didn't raise (the torts are probably well over 30-50yrs old...). Looks to me that Maggie is right and their care is not up to date. Most younger sullies in the pics (see the gallery) have pyramiding - probably from the lack of humidity.

That's what I get for commenting on something I only took a cursory look at. I didn't go through the site, just looked at the first picture.

I also wanted to say they I love their setup. While i'd do things slightly different, I'm drooling over that tortoise oasis!!
