No I have not had him for 15 years, someone else did and I just took him in. I see you’re in the San Diego area, but I’m in LA so I don’t think it is. And he came from a family friend.
Thank you. I was also reading how they would have difficulty walking and would drag their legs if they walk at all. Mine gets around pretty well and he does not have that slope at the bottom end of the shell. It seems like the main issue was the space he was in ☹️
I am new to owning a tortoise and I recently discovered what pyramiding is. The tortoise I have has already severe pyramiding. Is this painful for them? Will it go down by expanding its habitat? Will he stop growing?
I am not sure how old the tortoise is but believed to be about 15 yrs old.
