    Another way to prevent pyramyding?

    Cerave Baby. Which Cerave matters. Not cream Not anything else but the Cerave Baby moisturizing Lotion. Whatever you put on the shell make sure to check for allergens and toxins. Not all Cerave products are created equal fyi.

    Another way to prevent pyramyding?

    Good point. Humidity is not compeltely out of the picture but it is below 85% which was the only way my setup worked in terms of not drying out the cuticle when the spotlights hit it directly. Also, a big success was making an actual burrow for him mixed with some sand and coco coir which is...

    Another way to prevent pyramyding?

    Oh ok then all power to you and your belief. I have one tortoise and have had only one so i cant say i can argue that, altho others on here have experimented. Even 1-2 weeks with my setp caused some uneven and raised new growth. Thats where i realized, yeah hes gonna keep pyramiding and its only...

    Another way to prevent pyramyding?

    Zero Pilot if you would have read my post youd realize its not an experiment....i just couldnt prove the humidity he once had, it was situational. So i 1.) Researched other options (according to their natural environment) 2.) Made a call not to forsake Binkeys Health. It was that or just LET...

    Pyramiding problem

    I have only one sulcata but I do use MVB (and two other spotlights) in my enclosure and i have smooth shell growth. They are 100W+ each so pretty strong. I have to take extra precautions to protect the shell cuticle from drying out. Only time i didnt see drying of the cuticle was at 85%+...

    Another way to prevent pyramyding?

    Ive never worried much about Binkey's humidity as my green/fish room provided a ton. But tearing my tanks down one by one anticipating a move past couple months ive sorta been cheating on humidity factor a tad and getting away with it with good results. Besides staying intop of nutrition and...
