[QUOTE=cyjambo;652592]Hi everyone,
Thanks a lot for your input, I'll settle with THB Just a question if you don't mind me asking here: Do you think Freddy and Vilma look ok? Hi there. It's always wise be cautious saying much on the basis of photos, although these are really good ones. I'm not seeing anything obvious wrong. Yes there is some pyramiding which does reflect some combination of factors bieng at work probably including diet and humidity at crucial times and conditions were not perfect. But in my opinion this doesn't matter at all if the tortoises have a sound bone structure underneath and move easily and do all the normal things. I can't say this with any authority but I think the wide wheel arches are a feature of the male shape that starts to show as the hermann tortoise grows into pre adult stage. My males (which are hermanni hermanni) have it after a certain point and my females don't (regardless of stage of development).
