Can't wait to meet you guys and your tortoise!

Hello and Welcome. There is some info at the bottom of my post for raising Sullies, healthy and smooth. They are more for hatchlings upto about 8inches or around 2 years. Maybe you can implement some to your torts husbandry. Only one picture showed for me and that one does have pyramiding.

Maximus also has 4 rounded indentations in the bottom of his shell that idk if he was born with but I will take a picture in the morning, maybe one of you can give me some insight...and are their weights okay for their age?

More info: Achilles was a Craigslist buy from someone who didn't have time for him anymore...I even had to take him to the vet for being severely underweight when I got him, and Maximus was from a breeder

I feed them mainly mazuri tortoise chow and another I think it's called pretty pets? And at times spring mix...

They're housed in a wooden tortoise hutch with UVB and heat lamp
