Pyamid?

Do Indian stars normally look like this, or is this poor little one been over fed?

WAY overfed. That is some pretty major pyramiding, alas.

Not yours, I assume?

No, not mine. It was a google highlighted ad, for a website selling tortoises and this was it's example of an indian star. I've never really seen stars before and as it seemed to go with the pattern i thought i'd make sure it wasn't meant to look like that.

I believe that some "pyramiding" is normal in Stars, even in WC torts, but the one you posted is abnormal.
