He has a little pyramiding but its no health problem . I think he looks great! Go to the sulcata section and read Tom's information on sulcatas you will be glad you did .
Also you should soak him with warm water everyday!!! but anyways it will thake you months to se the difference just be patient

He still have lots growth to go. So not to worry. You are come to the right place to learn and share. Post more picture and thread, the help you will get will be phenomenal.
Your 4 year old sulcata looks darn good. As Bouaboua said, he still has plenty of growing to do. Give him plenty of sunshine, a varried diet, room to roam, and keep him hydrated. Oh, and ask lots of questions.

How much does he weigh?
Curious how much does he weigh?

I don't think there is an average. Sizes and weights can vary greatly due to many factors (genetics, husbandry practices, climate/environment, etc...)
Your turtle looks great! You just might want to halt any future pyramiding by following the advice given in this forum.
Your tort looks great, I can't wait until mine gets bigger. Mine is just 4 1/2 months old and weighs 145 grams.
RE: Changed substrate now keeps coming in and out of house
Most members housing their torts outside will lock them into their hides for night time to protect them from any critters that may bother them. Is this something you can do? It's safer then letting them roam at night.

I have turned off all my night time heat. Maybe that's your tortoise's problem.
Also, if he liked the straw, go ahead and leave it in there. At his size he doesn't need a moist substrate. In fact, I don't have any substrate in my big tortoises' houses.
And like Wellington suggested, block the door so he can't come out.

Your tortoise looks fantastic. The little pyramiding he has happened very early in his life. For at least past two years he has been growing smooth. You don't need to be taking any drastic measures.

Beautiful tort
Congrats on your new family member!!
I was in your shoes last year when I got mine it was 4 months old and weighed 98 grams. I had him for 16 months now and he is 8.2 lbs. it's been an adventure so fans but we love it. Hint take pictures and write its measurements and you will be amazed at the change. Enjoy!
London my lovely Sulcata tortoise :0))
