I'm a new tortoise owner and I'd like some opinions if mine has a healthy shell or if it's started pyramiding

It takes some pretty poor care for a Testudo species tortoise to pyramid. When we talk about pyramiding, we're mainly talking about sulcatas, leopards, stars, etc. not the Mediterranean species. Your baby looks fine.

Russian's are very forgiving when it comes to pyramiding - in fact it's quite rare to see one that truly shows pyramiding. You're good.
