Why so domed ??

[arotester]

ok lot of people asked me about where are the above tortoises located ? so the answer is "Indonesia" .I was on a trip and i saw these with a person,the person was into breeding these torts.
Also, i want to know whether the C.G.(center of gravity) for ploughshare is more towards the plastron as compared to pancakes where it is in middle of the shell .
Have anybody seen pyramided ploughshares??

Oh LOL, my own country, then I suspect I might know who you are talking about.

Oh yes, I've seen pictures of some pyramided ploughshares under sell here. Some are worse...

Hi everyone,
i want to ask a question about the domed shells of torts(sorry but i don't know about ploughshare torts)

These are the pics of torts from some breeders here,
why are they so highly domed and so different than other tort?
Is it a deformity or is it normal shell growth?

They are beautiful
