:(:(:(Why my sulcata bottom is pyramiding ? I am so worry about him :(

Everything level should be in the correct level like humidity is 60-80%
Heat is around 90 f
And I got him uv light
Calium power with fresh spring mix everyday

The problem I was thinking maybe I add too much water in the bedding to increase the level of humidity:/

Thanks!!!!

Plastrons do not pyramid. Hatchlings frequently have rather wavy plastrons that smooth out totally with growth. I see nothing to worry about.

Just to be sure everything is set up to get you little one thriving, why not read through this post I made yesterday. I was answering about a star tortoise, but It is also completely appropriate for sulcatas and how they should be raised...
