As stated before your turtle is shedding ! Changing words to another post since Oct 30th does not change the fact it's shedding !
If you offer a good habitat it will shed easy if not will be hard for it to shed properly !
You can ask all you want or believe what you want will not change the fact it's shedding .

Haha litefoot is a mighty experienced turtle keeper. Sometimes he gets a little cranky. Don't take it personally ;)

That said, it is best to follow up on the same thread if you are bringing up the same topic. People will be more helpful if your information and previous posts are clear.

I know hes shedding, but the top of his shell, as seen in the pics i have there, his Shell looks pointy on the top? I wanted to know if hes pyramiding.. i guess im a bad person for wanting to care for my turtle...

If you're referring to that "spinal" ridge, it's normal.
