Think the bump could be scales? Sometimes not all the skin comes off in a shed and then the new skin sometimes doesn’t come off the following sheds in that spot and can cause a bump. I’ve had that happen when I used to keep reptiles, a good soak will usually fix it. It’s normally only bad when it happens on the toes, it can constrict circulation and cause toes to fall off.
It could be anything,,just something i remembered from my reptile keeping days. That happened frequently with my mangrove monitor.
ok update he has grown two inchs and is pushing 12" I swapped out his substrate to cypress mulch and sphagnum moss to help with humidity

Like I mentioned before, they like snails and eggs to eat too. Ive heard they also eat frogs but thats a bit cruel to the frog.
Im not sure if i would risk feeding him snails from your garden but you should try giving him an egg, it looks freaky as they get the whole thing in their mouth then crush it. Probably start with a smaller sized egg so theres no choking risk, its pretty messy so maybe do it on a day you plan on cleaning up the cage.
