Alrighty, so awhile ago I posted a thread about my Russians, both of which were pretty obviously pyramiding. They had been fed nothing but greens their entire lives, so the consensus was that they did not have enough humidity. (Despite frequently misting their coco husk substrate- whoever says Russians are easy babies needs to think again.) Since then, I have experimented with cypress and sphagnum. Right now, they are living in 100% sphagnum, which is kept moist constantly, and rotated frequently to avoid mold. I removed their dry hides because they never went into the moist hides- I guess they just weren't used to it. Now, they sleep in their moist hides every night.
There has been some noticeable new growth in their shells, but it's difficult to gauge if this is healthy new growth, or a continuation of the pyramiding. So, I'm opening it up for another consensus! Yes, I am inviting you to criticize my pyramiding. Please be brutal, rude, and entirely un-called for.
Here's Mona:
