Taking care of your turtle's overall health.
Posted: Mon Oct 07, 2013 2:26 pm Pyramiding?
Hi all
So I'm worried that my turtles' shells may be pyramiding. their scutes feel a little more raised and jagged than they used to. Below is a video where you can kind of see what I mean, especially when they're swimming in profile.

I can't really tell, but if the seams between the scutes are thick then you are probably feeding too much. Being jagged could also mean they haven't shed yet.
