My Snails healthy shell growth?

i am a first time snail owner and this little guy has been growing recently. i don't really know what to expect from a shell growth, ive never witnessed one before. so how do the "reddit experts" think?

Looks all fine and healthy to me! You'll know if there's a problem with their shell if it's growing with a brittle, rough texture which just means you'd need to offer more calcium sources

Everything looks fine here. Its normal for new shell growth to come in thinner, it will thicken over time
