Heavily pyramid on a sully :(

[Indios_mommy]

Owner says its healthy, but I have never seen pyramiding until I saw this, am I wrong? http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/pet/3935492745.html

It definitely has pyramiding but I have seen much worse. It makes you wonder if they have had it since a hatchling or maybe they took it in with the pyramiding damage already done. That would be the question to ask, if they have changed things up and the pyramiding isn't getting worse it may be healthy now. Unfortunately one can only fix the problem and prevent further damage but cannot fix the damage already done.

It doesn't look too bad to me. At least the tortoise isn't showing signs of MBD.

Ya that's not extremely terrible. I've heard of collapsed shells due to mbd which is really why we're trying to stop pyramiding... pyramiding in itself is just a cosmetic thing to a given extent, but if it gets too bad mbd can start. I'm not saying that he isn't pyramiding but honestly, I don't think it's that terrible, and if I were in the market for a sully I would still consider that one as a healthy addition.

Not the worst I've seen either.

She doesnt look bad at all. Infact she looks pretty healthy from what i see. No MBD. You want to see bad, look up TRN

*gives a sigh of relief* I was expecting a really bad one with signs of MBD to go along with it. Thank goodness it's really not too bad of a case of pyramiding.
