Really stupid question.......

What is pyramiding? I'm confused.

hey! something i know about turtles! pyramiding is when a tortoise's scales on its carapace develops into a pyramid shape. im pretty sure it's from too little or too much protein.

Thank you, I was feeling like an idiot!!!

Its not only that, any unusual, rough and non-species related irregularity on the carapace is known as pyramiding
