God bless you & increase the works of your hands
Well done!

Gbemiie:
Thanks alot for this info. Please how do you go about its housing? As in the basket, what are the things you used to make the platform for the snails in the basket. Please do include the feeds and stuff you give them to eat. Thanks again.

cococandy:
Yet some people will come here to insult those that gave them 3k as if it's nothing.

See what you're doing with 1k. God will really bless your hustle.


Madam @tearoses. I know you will like this story.

Sleekyshuga:

True at bush but where the bush dey na for PH ?

Most of the giant snails in the market have been exposed to sun which dries their moisture and sometimes, reduce their fertility rate.


That's what my course rep is doing. He dries them, and sends to the United States. He is making good money but with this dollar to naira rate, he got affected.

denip:


@Sleekyshuga can u link me with your course rep?

IMASTEX:


Not indoor, It is actually constructed for them. Though, one can use indoor.

Yes, they are A.M. Well, you can check my profile to read about A-Z practical snail farming for reasons.

MrPristine:


In all honesty, it's not a business one can depend on for now. For instance i don't plan to start selling my snails for at least two years when i would have grown the farm exponentially. For someone who is unemployed, he might not have the patience for the farm to mature neither would he have the funds to grow the business. for example it cost me 25k to build their snail pen when the numbers were increasing and i know it will cost me a least 200k to prepare the land(minus cost of the land) that i am going to move the snails to when they start multiplying through birth. Some species of snails can lay up to 500 eggs a year so i know that within a short time i would have to invest more money if i want my snail farm to thrive. But the important lesson is that if i didn't take that first step and spent that one thousand naira i won't have a snail farm today which if well managed could be worth millions in a couple of years.

Good day sir, I'm a student.....university precisely, and i would love to set up this business before i return back to school early November for my younger bro to manage, i have an uncompleted 4 bedroom flat at my disposal cause my dad hasn't been able to complete it as at now, and also abundance of pawpaw leaves and waterleaf in my vicinity not to mention wastes that I could gather from a near by fruit market, but I don't really know how I'll go about everything, finding the snails and so on, please i have saved a very low of N3500 so far from the little money i could lay my hands on, please can i do something with this mearge amout of money? also considering what i can get from my surroundings?...
please sir i need your advise so i can kickstart this stuff latest in a weeks time.. thanks in advance sir...
God bless you..

This thread was created to showcase my snail farm as away of encouraging the unemployed youths to explore the golden opportunities that lies within, in other to attain financial freedom without having to remain idle "while waiting on their choice employment". And also, to motivate and unveil to the working class the flexibility in snail farming. Thereby making it a very good way of doubling their sources of income. As it often requires most attention in the evenings/night, minimum startup capital, very low morality rate, good return of investment, etc.

Agriculture remains the only way out, most especially in this present economic reality in Nigeria. This is why, going into the agricultural sector will not only make us self-sufficient but to increase income base.

Checkout my snails.

MrPristine:


You don't need much money to start a snail farm, I started mine with only one thousand naira. I personally caught my first almost two hundred snails that I started my farm with, you can do the same and use the money you have to construct a cage for them.

Drawsoup:
do you have a picture of how such cage should look like?

transfer101:
@Op, I refuse to commend you for this if you studied nothing related to Agriculture in school.

But if you do, kudos to you for not being one of the many useless graduates who would study engineering in the University, then later ventutre into agriculture for private business when the country needs them to promote their field...



Don't quote me if you have no reasonable reason to dissent with the above phenomenal.

toneroto70:
Dear Imastex,

I started a small snailery sometime in march 2016 but my major problem is ants" devastation. Do I need to cement the housing or what do I do to avert this trend?
NEED URGENT ADVISE.

IMASTEX:

Lol. who should you blame in that instance, the graduate or the system? How many engineers have the opportunity of been employed in their field of specialisation?

IMASTEX:

Wow! sorry about that. the secret of preventing ants starts from the pen construction. Though, I haven't seen the type of pen you have. Well, you can cement it. Send me the pictures on WhatsApp.
