Doesn't really look like he's pyramiding to me. However, if you are raising him in a nice hot humid enclosure, with a good diet, he should be just fine. Like in Toms threads below, incase you haven't seen them yet, take a look. Otherwise your tort looks good to me.

Looks good.

Is he living in a desert enclosure or a tropical rainforest enclosure? You tell me that and I will tell you what his future growth will look like. :)

Thanks guys for the comments. I have read Toms threads like 2 or 3 times and keep him just as he advises. If you look at the last picture there seems to be a little gap between his scutes unlike in the other pictures and that worries me a little.

Looks like normal growth Jesse. That gap will fill in.
