Hello. What a beautiful little tortoise. I'm not an expert though on the shell condition of your species. You're at the right site for that information.

Welcome what a great looking sully. It looks fine to me comparing it to mine. You have some slight pyramiding. That can be solved with the proper enclosure. A pic of your enclosure would help to see if we can give you any ideas to help.

I would get a temp/humidity digital meter.Put the wire probes down by the substrate.
The UVB light you are talking about. Make sure it is not the screw in bulb type that look like a coil or looped tubes.(it could damage their eyes)Zoo med Reptisun or Arcadia make a 18" florescent tube type light.
I would get rid of the hay on basking rock.(it can end up molding).
Also your substrate looks dry(is it coco coir)? Just pour warm water in and make it damp. You also might want to put cypress mulch or orchid bark on top of the substrate to help hold moisture in and keep the dirt from getting all over.
Also read the care threads here on sulcata's.
I am not picking your enclosure apart just giving you suggestions that were given to me. I started out way behind what you have already accomplished. It was this forum that got me on the right track.

Your tort looks gorgeous, despite the slight pyramiding.

I spray Oli's enclosure with water and then mix the substrate with my hands. I also give Oli a daily soak in warm water.
