: the only tortoise I have had that developed pyramiding was one that I had to put on antibiotics when it was a juvenile. The other tortoises from the same clutch did not show the same signs. Obviosly diet is of the utmost importance and care should be taken to provide the proper food groups for each type of tortoise but I feel that in the future it will be found that protein is not the major contributing element to pyramiding.

I see - and at what point in the future do you think we'll all discover that the earth does not rotate around the sun, and that the moon is made of green cheese?

Sorry - but your argument makes no sense. Either you have data to support this hypothesis - or you don't. Further, I suggest at the very least you could make an attempt to undermine the scientific arguments advanced to the contrary. Just saying "I think that at some time in the future" is no kind of valid argument whatsoever.

Facts, please. Facts.
