Pyramiding

[ccalderon]

Does this look like the start of pyramiding? I soak daily and his enclosure is at 60% humidity, temps range from 95 to 80. I also use a multivitamin in his food. Trying to keep the little guy as healthy as possible

Try your best to bump his humidity up to at least 80%. That is the low end of the range it should be.

But keep up your soaks every day [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]


What kind of lighting do you have for him?

I use a uva/uvb/heat. With a zilla ceramic socket. Could diet have any bearing on it as well?

Im going to seal off his enclosure better to trap more humidity and heat amd hopefully that will help!!!

He doesn't really look like pyramiding yet. I too would bump up the humidity to 80%. I would cute back the vitamins too 2 times a week if you are giving it daily. Also, do you provide a cuttlebone for him or do you use calcium powder?

Yes, diet can play a part. Feed as wide a variety and as natural to his wild diet as possible.

I am posting a pic of his cuttle bone, which I think may be too large if that's possible. And posting a pic of the supplements I use.

This is the best thing you can do to prevent pyramiding. When you get it all sealed you will need to watch that the temps don't get too low or too high. A thermostat is a good device to have to help control the ambient temp in the enclosure.
