It's been a while and I wanted to give an update on my little guys.
They are averaging about 2 to 2.5g per week, nice and slow.
They don't eat anything but weeds/grape leaves and finally got them started on eating grass!
I try to soak them daily but sometimes I have skip a day or two and I can finally see nice clean growth rings on them.
I am in the middle of redoing their enclosure with more rocks and plants to replace the ones that died and try to keep the soil from getting too wet.

It won't hurt if the soil gets too wet. High humidity, 80% is what will grow them smooth. The enclosure looks nice.

Wellington,
I'm not that concerned about the soil being wet I'm just tired picking the mushrooms that grow up and just worried about to much fungus.
As for humidity goes the last seven days the average is been 77 with a high of 86 and a low of 73.
When I open the doors to feed/change water and grab them for a soak or whatever I need to do inside the humidity will drop into the 50s.
