Pyramiding? Leopard tortoise hatchling

[sethlocker]

Hi everyone,

I have had my little tortoise for over a month and wanted to think if you guys thought he had any signs of pyramiding. I'm pretty sure was he overfed and not kept in the best environment previously. I keep convincing myself that I can see super slight signs of pyramiding, but I may be overthinking it. Let me know what you think of his/her shell!

You are over thinking it, and there is no such thing as over-feeding tortoises if you are feeding the right foods. You've been reading the wrong stuff. Pyramiding isn't caused by food. It is caused by growth in conditions that are too dry.

Here is the correct care info:
