I worry over anything and everything, which is why I’m wondering if my two year old tortoise is healthy. Can some people just look at some of these pictures and reply if you notice anything,,, unusual? Thanks!

He seems to have Very minimal Pyramiding, but otherwise it’s looking Great.
Your Tortoise has a extra Scute, if find that is makes the tortoise look better.

Pyramiding is due to Dry conditions, not enough Humidity. Testudo tortoises aren’t prone to Pyramiding as much.

Would you recommend just spraying his inside enclosure with water every day to help?

Wait I think I miss understood ? pyramiding is a bad thing isn’t it?

yes pyramiding is bad but your tortoise has minimal so he is fine.

Yes, but it’s minimal it won’t affect the tortoises Health, just aesthetics.

Your tortoise looks dry. Do you soak your tortoise?

Yeah I soak him every other day or so, I have been thinking he looks looks a bit dry but I don’t know if I should just start to bathe him every day or maybe start to dampen his enclosure more?
