This is awesome that you’re tracking all this!! I’m trying to do the same with my little guy but sometimes I do forget to weigh him

He’s soooo cute, I can’t wait to see him grow!

Do you guys think his shell is starting to grow smooth? I’m worried his new growth is pyramiding.

The new growth is coming in as smooth as could be possible with the pyramiding your tortoise came to you with. Keep doing what you're doing!

It may never be "perfect", but that tortoise looks excellent and super healthy. You've done a great job with it.
