Sulcata. Age ~15 months. Up until about a month ago (when I joined the Forum) it was on a Tortoise Table with Timothy Hay as the substrate and about 30-40% humidity. Timothy Hay was the main source of food with an occasional fruit. This lasted for about eight months. Totally unacceptable living conditions and I am ashamed to admit it. I only did what the Pet store told me to do though. After finding the forum and talking to you helpful and knowledgeable people, I changed a lot of things. Now the Tort is in a 40gal aquarium with Coconut Coir as the substrate. I mist it to keep it damp. I have a Reptifogger and the humidity stays between 80-85%. I cover the screen top with aluminum foil to keep the humidity and heat in. Daily soaks. Powersun UVA/UVB bulb above the basking spot that stays about 100F. The rest of the enclosure stays about 82F. Humid Hide (tupperware container with Sphagnum Moss). My question is, with the pyramiding that has already occurred, is it still reversible and how long until I see a change? The back scutes near the tail are totally smooth so I don't know if that is a good sign. Please help! I hope I haven't messed this poor Tort up.
