Yes it is. Get it into the correct warm humid environment ASAP to stop it.
You are not alone, and you've just been following the same wrong advice that almost everyone involved with tortoises gives. I used to follow and give that advice too, until I figured all of this out with a lot of help from many sources. Don't be embarrassed and don't beat yourself up about it. Not your fault, and you are clearly trying to do your best.Hi Tom, I just finished reading your care sheet and am embarrassed to admit I was doing A LOT wrong, is it possible to prevent the pyramiding from getting any worse? Will my tortoise be okay?

The sooner your tortoise gets hydrated and into a large humid warm closed chamber the sooner the pyramiding will cease, and the new growth can come in better.
While I was reading this my screen switched over to something called turtles and Tortoises Inc. With a buncha animals for sale...I never heard of them...I reset my computer...
