Re: A few more pics of my tort.
He doesn't chew on those fake plants? Did you built everything yourself? I like his little house.

Re: A few more pics of my tort.
Mine is about the same size too. I have no idea how old he is. I got him from someone who had him for years, and he hadn't grown in that time according to them. His shell is not smooth like yours, he has no pyramiding, but he has like "dents" in some places.. I was told (correct me if it's wrong), that this could be a sign that we was wild caught because of the rocks and rough terrain. Poor guy, hope that wasn't the case. I love to eat him eat, lol.

My tort does have the pyramiding , i bought him like that a few years ago. You could be right about the dents though , i have heard that too . Pyramiding is caused by diet.

Oh sorry, I didn't see the pyramiding at first, maybe because of the lighting. Now that I look closer I can see it a bit more in the second photo.

No , i bought the table , it did have a bigger platform , but it made it dark underneath , so we cut the platform down to make more room.
