The top of her carapace is a little bumpy. They other two are smoother and I'm just not sure why. I know in the scheme of things it's minimal but she (or he quite possibly since he seems to have a gigantic tail lol) is a little lumpy.

Document all the things s/he does that the others might not do. It could be important. Mine are all kept in the exact same conditions except I can't keep anny ground cover or plants in with the sulcatas and they are pyramiding quite a bit more than the leopards. The only difference is the ground cover and plants I mentioned and the sulcatas bask while the leopards hide under the moss and do not bask.

You need more humidity for the sulcatas to stop the pyramiding . You may need to install a humidifier in your enclosure .

They are all in the same enclosure together. They don't bask often, never have but they bask more with the bulb change than they ever did. I used to have a mvb 100w. I switched it for a 65w incandescent flood bulb. I occasionally see each of them bask. They tend to do everything together. They sleep, eat, and bask together the majority of the time. They will often soak one or two at a time, I don't think I've ever seen all three of them soaking at the same time but everything else... Lol
The only thing I can think of is her (his) dark carapace getting warmer and holding heat longer? He is taller and significantly bigger than the other two, pictures don't do the boy justice. His growth has been much more rapid than the other two. He was the smallest upon arrival.
