My male turtle swam sideways today and I noticed his shell seems to be of an irregular shape as compared to the female one.

Is it pyramiding?

It is about 4inches and I feed each turtle 15 pallets a small little treat everyday.

The daily treats rotate everyday between dried shrimp, repto delica and shredded carrots

Is this considered alot?? Should I cut down? If so, how many pallets should I feed exactly?

15 pallets was my interpretation of the extremely vague head size estimation rule.

Both seem to be pyramiding and have fungus on their scutes. I'd cut down a lot and offer more veggies.
