Great pics! How long have you had them? The pyramiding isn't as bad on the smallest one yet. I few tweaks on the husbandry and I bet you could stop it altogether for all of them (can't 'cure' pyramiding, but you can stop it from getting worse and it will be less noticeable as they grow).
About the pyramiding, one way to stop if is to drench the animals (hose the shells down) once a day in dry season. Hosing the shell seems to soften it up a bit so that it can "stretch" grow outwards.
"Price has very little to do with QUALITY. Quality stands on its own merit and doesn't need a hefty price tag to prove its worth."
We are aware of the pyrimiding which is now under control with soaking. Leopards do pyramid in the wild more than other torts and is believed to be not a critical with them as it is with other species. That said we do live in a dry desert enviroment so they get soaked daily during drier weather and we spoke to a breeder here on the west coast that reccomended moisturizing cream for their shells to help as well.
Thanks for the comments
