I have 4 sulcatas and have done lots and lots of research on pyramiding over the past couple years that I have had them. Diet and humidity may matter in some cases but I have come to believe that heredity is a bigger factor. I think some are more prone to pyramiding due to genetics. That is the only way I can explain why I have one that has pretty pronounced pyramids and 3 that are quite smooth. All get the same diet/treatment. How do you explain that? Also, I know of another sulcata living with a friend who pretty much lives on mazuri diet and is very smooth. Not what we are told!!

Anyone else out there believe this?
