General Care Discussion :: Help, i think my turtle is pyramiding

[i.love.res]

Been keeping shadow for 4 months now, have not had any health problems or what so ever, however i have realised that the front part of hs shell just above his head, at his shoulders are a little uneven. The rest of is shell is smooth, just the part at his shoulder, although its not really bad.
I was jus wondering, is there a way to reverse the effect?
I feed him twice a day and 2 pellets each time, is this too much?
hes about 2.76 inches
I'll try to take pictures of his shell, in the mean time, should i cut down on his feedings, or give him more cuttlebone or something?
He does not bask nowadays, after he fell out of his tank by climbiing from his basking area, he seems to be afraid of it and seldom gets up on it

Maybe it just needs to shed. How long has it not basked for? Maybe there's another reason for him not basking. Like the temperature is off. Could you post a picture?

I was thinking it needs to shed too. Those pieces are usually the last to come off.

[url][/url]I couldn't get a good shot as Shadow just would'nt stay still
I checked the temp. and it was just fine, i really think its because of the fall [url][/url]

[steve]

The shell looks ok in the picture. Did you feel for any sensitive areas after the fall?

[i.love.res]

Not really. he seemed fine, jus that he does not dare go on the basking dock now
And he gets spooked easily. Been 1 month since the fall, and he seems ok

Are you sure your temps are on point? Maybe you have to change the basking dock or move it to the other side of the tank and switch things up a bit.
