Just got this tortoise today from a coworker who no longer could take care of it. Just wondering if its shell looks like it has issues. This is my first tortoise so I'm am not yet confident in self diagnosing issues.

Welcome to the forum. Your Russian tortoise looks typical. You should soak him in shallow warm water. Please search the care sheet on the forum for his care. If you post a picture of the plastron (bottom of the shell) and tail area, someone will be able to help you determine male or female.
