This is my leopard tort Bill
As you can see he is not too big. This worries me because I had gotten him when I was in 7th or 8th grade, and had him all the way until about my sophmore year of high school where he was givin to my cousin for a little over 2 years (I felt bad for not being able to take care of him, so my parents gave him to my younger cousin?). Well now he has been back with me for a few months and I have taken responsibility over him again, this time it will be different. Anyways as I was saying he looks a little small at his age(at least 6 years old) is this because he was not fed enough? And what can I do in order to insure he grows at a healthy rate from here on out?
Also he has some pyramiding as you can see
And I read somewhere on here that keeping them in a moist enviroment(like totally misty) for some time helps their shell grow smoother. So my question is, even though he is already six years old will this help him with his new shell growth if I decide to incorporate this feature into his enclosure?
