pyramiding

[Rhyno47]

When I got Isaac he was pyramiding badly. But since then I have gone crazy making his home perfect for him. His pyramiding practically stopped, spare the very very gradual amount of vertical growth. His shell now has little plateaus showcasing his old pyramiding when he was very young.

Isaac at 3 months when I got him.

Isaac at 10 months, very recently, after alterations.

Notice the plateaus I mentioned.

How exactly are you keeping him?

He is in a stainless steel stock tank with about 4 inches of coconut sand mix kept damp all the way through. He has a hide box with a bedding of sphagnum moss about an inch or two thick kept damp as well. Humidity in the hide = 90, in the tank = 70, and in the sunlamp area = 50.

Very nice setup.

Sorry, you are right Yvonne.

I have fallen into the iniquitous habit of seeking out salacious gossip to treat as Truth...I do think there should be an Olympic competition for torts like Isaac, though. Maybe I should request such a competition here on TFO...

Sorry to have gone so far off topic on this pyramiding thread.

I'm still an Isaac groupie, though.
