Interesting paper from studies into humidity and pyramiding of tortoise shells.
I had heard about this many years back but have finally got a paper detailing it all.
Thanks for emailing it over Pete 
I bought a large group of Hermans back in 2003 (hatched in 2001) and have kept them relatively humid since I have had them and so far all shells look great.

Thankyou for sending it Scott and very interesting read and definatly food for though, since I always was lead to think pyramidding was a cause of diet and lighting, the humidty never crossed my mind.
I keep my torts outside for most of the time anyway, I'm not sure of the average humidty in the UK, will check.
Hmmm ponder, ponder
