Hello all,
I have a 3 1/2 year old eastern Hermann’s tortoise who seems to have slight pyramiding of her shell. She is kept in a 5x5 ft enclosure and also has access to outside when the weather is nice. Her humidity levels are kept at 50-70% and the temp of her enclosure is kept at around 85-90 degrees Fahrenheit with cooler and warmer spots around the enclosure, and she is also kept in a closed chamber enclosure. She eats a wide variety of dark leafy greens daily, and acts perfectly normal. She also gets half hour soaks about 2-3 times a week. I’m not quite sure what to do, is this just cosmetic or is it somthing that
is very serious? I got her from a local reptile shop that is very well known and sought after here in Texas. Any suggestions?
(Her shell looks dry because there is dust on it, so please do not mind it, she’s a messy girl lol!)
