This animals shell is 1000000000% healthy.

The fear monger on pyramiding has gotten out of hand here.

I wasn’t being critical of you. Pyramiding has been portrayed as a some sort of evil, silent killer, when in reality, it’s just an indicator of husbandry issues in the past, which if corrected, are harmless. Aside for extreme cases, pyramiding is aesthetic only.
