It seems pretty minor to me. Make sure he/she gets a nice, balanced diet from now on. :)

I agree with caphits, it looks like she has probably had a poor diet in the past, but it doesn't look too terrible. With better care and diet she should do well. :D Congrats on the new turtle!

Aw, what a baby. I agree that it's a minor pyramiding, but not too bad.

Good luck with your new baby!

Twi-zii -- Yes a little pyrimiding. There are two things that cause that and that is poor diet and over feeding. I suggest that you feed pellets every other day and make sure the basking area is at proper temp and has proper uvb temp. and lighting. MH
