Hi

All the adult redfoots I have, have pyramiding. Here are some photo's of one I've had for about 8 months. You can see her new growth is very dark in colour. All of mine are like this. I've seen loads with white growth lines. I'm lead to believe this is because of fast growth. What I want to know is does the fact that mine have dark growth lines mean they are growing at a nice steady pace, Are the looks of new growth lines an indication on whether I'm doing it right or wrong, is it related to pyramiding or not. Are there wild torts with white coloured new growth.
Oh and I finally got them outside today. yipee. Made me happy. Can't wait till I have everything built for them so they can roam all day.
If you look carefully you can see where a dog had old of her with the last owner. 2 of her scutes are damaged.

Thank you
