Ok so I have had my baby sulacta for two months now. Not sure of his exact dob but he is about 3 or 4 months old. He is eating great and growing. I thought he might have a RI last month but no more bubbles and he seems fine. He was 50 grams last month and today he weighed in at 81 grams. I don't see any pyramiding but not sure if it would show up yet. I am keeping his enclosure wet and I give him two baths a day so hopefully there won't be any pyramiding. Anyway here are a couple pics of my handsome guy :)

He is very handsome. Yes, most likely if there were pyramiding, it would have showed up by now. Keep doing what your doing and hopefully he will stay nice and smooth:)

He is a cutie :) He still looks small, I guess at least compared to what he will get. And he looks very smooth. Good job :)

Lol hes grown a good bit since I got him in October. And thanks! I caught his pyramiding just in time his old owner kept him dry and on paper towels. But thanks to a lot of the members here I got some great advice and got him on the right track.

You can see the pyramiding he had on my profile pic. That was taken a couple weeks after picking him up

Me too! Got him off Craigslist. There was another a few weeks ago, but the lady selling him wanted too much for me to afford. Wanted $150 for just the tort. I could get one from the pet store for that. I was so sad I couldn't get him.

I got mine from tortoise supply. I think they are good breeders. Are you sure you want another one? You know your not supposed to keep them in pairs right? I think one is enough for me. Love him but he takes work and eventually a lot of space.
