Hi guys! My girlfriend and I got this little guy a month ago. It is about a year and a half old and from a reputable dealer who is known here.
It's our first time owning a tortoise and so we did a lot of research of course and read a lot about pyramiding.
As soon as we got him/her I noticed that it looks like the scutes might be slightly sticking out. However, I was curious is this a sign of pyramiding already? or is this normal since it's still young and growing.
I am being sure to keep some humidity for it since its still young, as well as soaking for hydration and uvb.
It's only at about 2.5 inches considering its age. (it is from the dwarf subspecies though)
btw don't worry that's not its enclosure in the background, that's just its little tanning spot for some fresh uvb.
Please let me know if more pictures or angels are needed!!
