Certainly a healthy size! I'm new to russian torts, so I'm not going to comment on the health. It might help to include the age and sex of the tortoise? Do you have any specific concerns relating to health, or just curious in general if your tortoise looks healthy?

Well, there's not too much we can tell by looking at the shell. It's a pretty shell, but I've seen some very pretty shells on dead tortoises.

What you are looking for is bright eyes and an alert expression (always accepting they go through sleepy periods)

The shelllooks in good condition - Russians can look pretty rough even when raised perfectly and yours looks good :)

As long as appetite, activity are normal and weight isn't lost, which it shouldn't be with that amount of new growth, then you are doing just fine :)
