Tom said:I see no signs of pyramiding whatsoever. I see just about perfect, even, uniform growth there. Whatever you are doing, or whatever has been done in this tortoises past, DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING!
Positively gorgeous tortoise too. I really love the appearance of any of the stars. So much fun to watch them grow and develop.
Tom said:No. That means it is steady and stable. That means that the tortoise is growing and adding scute material at a nice even pace. Its a good thing. A very good thing. If the tortoise has been in your care during get the time of that growth, it means you are doing an EXTREMELY good job of providing that tortoise with good growing conditions.
