General Care Discussion :: Is this pyramiding?

[jessiebuck]

Hi!

I have 2 turtles that are about 3 months old now. They are doing well, eating and basking (as far as I know as they still dive into the water as soon as I approach!). I just want to make sure theire shells are ok and growing properly. Are they pyramiding?

I feed them a total of 6 pellets of Hikari turtle pellets a day, they have cuttlebone, eat any veggies that I put in there, and have a proper basking area. The water temp is 78 degrees with the heater.

Another thing is I still have not chosen names for them!!! Any suggestions? Not sure if they are male or female yet.

Thanks!

The shells look OK. Keep in mind, clearly visible pyramiding is a result severe health or husbandry issues. As for names... I'm lost

Thanks!

I have a Fluval FX5 and a 55 gallon tank for now, will be extending my outdoor pond this spring and making it turtle escape proof and safe. The water is partially changed every 2 weeks and the filter cleaned every 2 months, at least for now as they are little and not making as much waste.

Sounds good! Hope to see more pics

Is there any picture showing pyramiding? I don't know what that looks like...

I like those names. What if they turn out to be girls??
