Yeah Chris has some stunners, my Amber is very smooth, but I don't know how old she is... 3 or 4 by my reckoning... fed on a mix of weeds and pellets and lettuce too

I'm not on RFUK, this is for this forum. Very experienced keepers should get it right surely? I said I'm yet to see a perfect one not that there aren't any. Most torts I'VE SEEN have some degree of pyramiding. As I said, I will apologise to anyone I offend when I see a perfectly smooth shell.

Sorry Merlin, that is pretty smooth.
Sorry Suze, any pics I love seeing other peoples torts. I'm doing my best and I hope Darwin stays smooth

Just to clarify, the ones in tables are the babies, they are inside more during the summer on bad days, the rest are out side all summer.

Don't be sorry Becci, your right, you do see a lot of lumpy torts, sadly. I do have two lumpy ones, but they came to me like that.

Will do , although if you have a look through the pics pages you'll see plenty of mine, I'll see if I can find them.

I'm sooooooo paranoid I'm getting something wrong. I'd hate to think I've done something to harm Darwin.

She is underweight just now, some separation stress and worms this year I am afraid
No I only got her last April, she was lovely and smooth when I got her, unlike Misha who came lumpy but is smoothing out as he grows. She was 6.5cm when I got her last April, 12cm now, and I did hibernate her last winter, but wont this winter due to weight.
