A few years ago when I was on here a lot, the thoughts on pyramiding was it was caused by diet. When I got sparky 11 years
ago she was pyramided and so I've tried to smooth her out not too successfully. Now I've been reading it's do to low humidity which has been the case for me as I have an open enclosure at least 3/4's open.
Sparky has a pen which is 6by8 feet. Peat moss for substance and spaghern moss that I got today. We got a plastic tarp to cover it up and spraying it down.she has shell problems starting with a burn that has gotten infected. Under vets care doing scrubs with dilute iodine solution followed by silver sulfadiazine cream. Tomorrow back for follow up. She's losing scutes. The original burnt one is half way off and the one next to it is lifting to. (She burnt it on her heat lamp obviously too low) I think it's better but I'm worried about others that seem like u can get a fingernail under at the edges. I must say the shell looks like new healthy growth is appearing.
I feel terrible about this. She eats like a little pig and is very bright eyed. The vet thought her shell looked good lower than the problem area.
Any more ideas would be appreciated!!
