So miles is 13 months old. He has some indentation at the front and back of his shell from birth but I notice slight pyramids on his spinal schutes.. he is in an closed chamber since 1 month old wi the humidity at 70-85 recently dropping to 60-70 normal temps

Are you using a mercury vapor bulb for uvb? They cause pyramiding.
Otherwise the slight pyramiding may have to do with how raised before you got him.
He is very pretty.

What weeds are you feeding your tortoise?
