As I rescued Krindy, or she rescued me. haha I was wondering how much better pyramiding gets over time. I understand she will always have the pyramiding, but do they broaden out?
Post your pyramided to years of health growth picture.
As I have only had her a year it has not changed much, but just look at her face.

The pyramiding your tort has looks pretty advanced to me, I would doubt that it will improve drastically. However with continual care you will hopefully see some improvement as time goes on.

Sometimes burrowing tortoises can abrade the pyramids down somewhat, making them a bit smaller (although not totally gone). But since leopard tortoises do not burrow, that's pretty much how the old growth is going to look.

The pyramiding probably won't get better, is pretty extensive. But, she just as cute and lovely as any of them, smooth, or pyramided.
