My tortoise shell

[Ricardoleopard]

Hi everyone,
I’m a bit concerned about my tortoise’s shell and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve noticed some raised growth on the scutes, and I’m worried it might be the start of pyramiding. I try to maintain proper diet, humidity, and UVB exposure, but I’d love to hear your thoughts. I’m attaching some pictures—does the shell look okay, or should I make any changes to my care routine? Thanks in advance!

Maybe @wellington can help you.

The raised portions you are seeing are the beginning of pyramiding that happened the first month or so of the tortoise's life. It apparently had a dry start in its first month or two. But all the new growth the past 6 months or so looks perfect! Great job on what you are doing now. You totally stopped and turned around the bad start this little guy had.
