No, but you can prevent it from it getting worse

As Tillytortoise has said, it isn't reversable but in time and with new growth it is usually less noticeable

So what your saying is that if a follow the advice given by you guys seeing as she is quite small the non bumpy parts will catch up with the bumpy ones

What I mean is that if a tort has pyrammiding and the reasons for the pyramidding are corrected then as the tort grows, and grows more smoothly the original area of pyrammided scutes will be small in comparison to the rest of the shell...
Clear as mud eh? |
