Shell Growth Healthy?

[l512]

Hi everyone,
Is this shell from a tortoise is started healthy 5+ months old. I do not know what to look but see the shell is raising. I have read your posts and know to watch for the good start. Wishing you a very nice day.

It looks ok to me. Nice growth lines. Any pyramiding that has started, you can stop by keeping him in a very humid enclosure

Thank you

Beautiful tortoise.
Maybe very slight pyramiding, but nothing to worry about.
Just give him a nice water supply, daily soaks and keep up the humidity.

I think I recognize that tortoise. Sierra View? If so, you'll be pleased with the little one. I purchased two hatchlings from them, they arrived yesterday. They're perfect and hit the floor running - ate well and great shells. I think you'd find the baby to be smoother than it appears in the photos as well.

Yeah thats not too bad at all for pyramiding. Really beautiful marbling too.

Remember, if raising humidity, keep temps up above 80F. I got reminded several times so now it's your turn!

I just received my 6th from Sue and Dan. You simply can't go wrong with their babies.

Beautiful, if slightly wary at the moment.

You will rarely see a perfectly smooth non-South African leopard tortoise, so even slight pyramiding is not anything to loose sleep over. The ones pictured above are about as good as I have seen, actually I would put those two above average in terms of smoothness.

He'll be here soon, thank you for all the help
