Maui is my first hatchling. I've been trying to keep her sprayed down, with lots of moss in the enclosure, and generally just maintain humidity. I just added it up and she turns 6 months next week. That means I've had her for 4 months and she looks to me like she's still growing smoothly.
But, I don't know if that's good enough. After having had her for 4 months would that be enough to tell if my husbandry is keeping her shell smooth? I hope it makes sense that I'm not asking about how to keep a tort from pyramiding, but rather about when I will be able to tell if what I'm doing is working. How soon do hatchlings start pyramiding if they're in an environment where they will? I'm doing my best to keep her healthy.
