    Really? A Babcocki that's 1000 gm at 12 months?

    Penelope is pyramiding and I don't know why!

    Thank you Tom! Im thinking it has to be cosmetic only. I have followed your care sheets carefully since she was a hatchling.

    Penelope is pyramiding and I don't know why!

    Honestly...I won't cut back. She loves to eat and she is definitely thriving. Her lighting, temps, and humidity are right where they need to be. I'm just going to be happy she's healthy! If she's cosmetically pyramiding that's ok.

    Very good read. Thank you for sharing! Sounds like I might want to cut back on Penelope's buffet!

    Penelope is pyramiding and I don't know why!

    I am just at a loss because all of my digital hygrometers say humidity is 83-90% at as all times. She's also soaked daily for 30-45 minutes.The only thing I could think of was the fast rate in which she's growing. She's 11 months old and 338 gm. She's a big girl (or boy!) for her age I think.

    My UVB bulbs are 10" tubes. I have 2 of them down the center of the enclosure. You can't see them in the pics though.

    Penelope is pyramiding and I don't know why!

    She would only be outside about 30 minutes 2 or 3 times a week. Do you think she wasn't out there enough? She's been indoors all winter and it's still pretty cool outside here. I'll get some pics up this evening.

    Penelope is pyramiding and I don't know why!

    I will get a picture of my enclosure and a profile shot this evening when I get home from work. I have something directly under my basking light so she can't get too hot. I'll double check temps there just in case. She's never even close to the basking area though. She's never been interested. I...

    Penelope is pyramiding and I don't know why!

    My Leopard tortoise is 11 months old and weighs 321 gm. She looks like she's pyramiding to me! I don't understand why. Her enclosure is closed chamber and the humidity is always between 80 and 90%. When she goes into her hide at night, it is closed chamber as well with humidity 95-100% every...

    Best Tortoise for Texas

    I can only speak for my experience with them, and they've been great! We received Penelope when she was approximately 6 weeks and she weighed 23 grams. She is almost 6 months old and weighs 116 grams now. She is very healthy. We have also ordered lots of supplies from them and have had the best...
