Here are a few pictures of our Hermann’s tortoise Taco. I’m guessing he’s around 2 years old; we got him last March. I’m worried because he hasn’t been eating and after reading this forum I think he’s not getting the correct lighting or humidity. Not sure if he has the beginning of pyramiding on his back.

Yes he has pyramiding starting. You do know he's not getting UV from the window right? It doesn't go thru glass or fine mesh screens.
He should have a tube florescent for uvb, incandescent flood bulb for basking and ceramic heat emitters for any needed day heat and night heat.
80% humidity for about another year then down to 50%.
