I have 3 Leopard tortoises. One was rehomed at 2 years old and had been kept very dry and had bad pyramiding. The other 2 were rehomed at 6 months and had smooth shells. They have been kept together for a year and have grown very well. I have followed the instructions in the guides for humidity and kept them in a closed chamber and the 2 younger ones have lovely smooth shells.
My question is the older one has grown considerably and her pyramids have grown with her. I have seen tortoises where the shell has reverted to growing flat once they are kept in better conditions but this doesnt seem to be happening with mine. She is happy, healthy and has a good appetite. Its just that her shell doesnt seem to be straightening out. Is there anything I can do or will she just stay like this?
