She looks great compared to how she looked when I brought her home. When I picked her up she lived on clay dirt and mulch with zero humidity and iceberg lettuce. Here is a pic the day i picked her up.

She's getting there slowly but surely. All I want is her to be happy and healthy. We love her so much.

Oh yeah, she's looking better already!
With the new growth, her shell should even out in good time. =)

I'm very glad she's getting better care now. She looks much better.


However, pyramiding is not caused by lack of UV or sun. It's caused by growth in overly dry conditions. You can grow a totally smooth one indoors or a very lumpy one outdoors.

Your right it was. That was the day we picked her up and in her old enclosure at her last family. She gets the good ole powersun now and lots of sunlight.

The new growth looks great. Really, in this day and age, there's no excuse for people to be ignorant about caring for their pets. If people can't look on the internet to find the best diet and care tips, they don't need to have pets at all. Nice to see she has a good home now.
