Hi wallaceandtilly:
You really don't have to worry about pyramiding on Russian tortoises. When we talk (and we DO talk a LOT) about pyramiding, it is mainly the RF, leopards and sulcatas. Keeping a moist habitat for baby Mediterranean species really doesn't do much for them. If they start to grow bumpy it's because of something else...wrong food...too much food...no UVB...etc.
So feed them right (not lettuce all the time) and get them outside for some real sun (I know this is diff. in the UK) and you're fine.
