Ok..
Is it safe to assume that someone has argued with you about this in the past?
Far be it from me to argue, I'm not going to do that.

Our girl is/was horribly pyramided when we got her. We have no way of knowing where she came from but since her original owner didn't care about her & threw her away like garbage out in the middle of nowhere.. I think it's safe to assume she was NOT given any proper care prior to that. Hence major pyramiding & MBD with extremely weak muscles. That was 5 years ago, she has changed A LOT in 5 years.
Proper diet has caused her new growth to be more normal & the appearance of the pyramids has lessened. When they ARE getting a proper diet, along with proper hydration.. then if they pyramid some- I don't know what you could do about it.

You're not the first person I've run across who's had 2 turtles or tortoises, raised exactly the same way then one pyramided & the other didn't. I don't think anyone can explain that just yet because so far nobody completely understands what causes pyramiding.
You do the best you can & ya know, what else can you do?
