Hi guys, meet parsley! I just got him about a week ago.

Ok but anywaysss, does anyone know why there’s a raised line bump above its head? (Second pic). Is he pyramiding? ?

That's nothing to worry about. Tortoises' spine is fused to the underside of the carapace, and sometimes it's quite visible, like yours.
