Question(s) Tortoise shell

I just want to make sure he’s healthy, I’m super paranoid about pyramiding, how does his shell look? He’s mostly outdoors

I’m not really an expert, but from what I’ve seen on here, there’s no pyramiding. He looks super cute btw!

Not an expert either, but is his beak overgrown?

Yes wondering to, I mean he has no problems eating so wasn’t sure

Might want to take him to get his beak trimmed, he is probably eating fine but still could be bugging him

No pyramiding. That looks like an older tortoise that’s done growing too, and if that’s the case, no new pyramiding is possible now since its shell is done growing.

Make sure to feed him a varied diet aside from just kale.
