Good for you.Thanks. I wrote to her and if she is okay with my sharing I asked if I can change the initial post to say it. We are writing online reviews and contacting the better business bureau

Thank you so much for sharing. It is nice to hear that we can make a difference at this point, and that it doesn't automatically mean bone disease. We are certainly trying! Mary Knobbins is adorable!FYI...the pyramiding won't ever go away. However, you can stop it and prevent it from getting worse.
I am not an expert by any means, but some years ago the local wildlife rescue gave me a badly pyramided Sulcata tortoise that was found in the wilds of downtown Portland Oregon. That was abut 4 years ago...
this is Knobby I'm holding him with my left hand...

This is now Mary Knobbins. I am very careful to make sure most of her environment is correct for her. Her new growth stays normal, she is healthy and very active. I am positive she does not have MBD along w/the pyramiding. I realize that you are showing a different species, but I just wanted to kinda show you that your Hermanni's new growth will be smooth, but the pyramiding won't go away. Plz stay and ask questions

Yes. They are feeding turtles and tortoises the same thing and selling older pyramiding tortoise of the wrong species! They need to go.

Agree. I just posted a review under Vendors Reviews
Tortoise TownPlease name this unscrupulous seller so that everyone reading can avoid them.
Tortoise TownWho sold you that tortoise thinking it was a Box Turtle? That shows sloppy work when shipping, total ignorance, or dishonesty. Post the name so other people will be informed and avoid that person/business.
I've posted many online reviews including here. Apparently this is not at all uncommon with Tortoise Town as the "breeder" (not really a breeder)Avoid ever dealing with that "Breeder" again. You should also name them here too so others can avoid them.
