I have a couple of questions about my turtles shell


1 Does this pic look like he is pyramiding?? :?

2 Is it normal for my turtle to have those golden streaks on his shell?

3 Is it also normal for it to have like those ridged spikes around the edge of his shell?

yea, looks very healthy to me. Maybe some very slight pyramiding. Just cut back a little on the pellets (and proteins) and increase the veggies. Otherwise they look really good.

It doesn't look like pyramiding to me (clearer pictures would be better). Those flared scutes in the back are most likely because the scutes haven't shed/been shedding (scute build up). He looks like he needs to shed some scutes.

How do you get him to shed the scutes?

thats a good question, is there any way to motivate it or should it just be left alone?

Good ol' browser incompatibilities. :? I can see the pics just fine. I'm running IE v7.0 with pretty much default settings.
