Type of Soil For Snail Farm Snail’s major habitat is the soil and soil contains some of the components and chemical substances that it needed to survive. However, not all soils are suitable for snail rearing. The shell of the snail is mainly calcium and it derive most of them from the soil. Snail also lay it’s eggs on the soil and drink water out of the soil. Hence, the suitable soil for snail farming must contain these elements. Must be balanced, not waterlogged, not too dry, and must not be acidic. The most desirable soil for snail is sandy-loamy soil with low water holding capacity. Clayey soil and acidic soil must be avoided. 1 Like 1 Share

I'm a big time Grasscutter farmer while I was home. I started a small scale Grasscutter farm as a family business back in 2000. Today, we operate one of the Grasscutter mega farm in Badagry, Lagos State, Nigeria. I know snail farming is lucrative but Grasscutter farming is more profitable than snail. I'm a living witness. I'll add more to the OP's information later. |

sukkot: I actually don't eat that stuff. In fact I'm a very very picky eater. There's a long list of stuff that I don't eat but I'm just saying your claim that black people eat everything is not true. Asians are worse. It was in an Asian restaurant that I first ate octopus. And I used it be like ewwww about it but now I eat it |

teewhydope:The major specie that is a major pest and disease carrier is the achatina fulica specie. So in rearing them, care must be taken to avoid rats entering their pen. But I prefer the achatina achatina specie 1 Like |

azimibraun:sorry o!! bt 15 centuries frm now I do not think that such would happen, Africans have been consuming snail before u were born and when u eventually die someday d consumption of snail will continue besides must we always follow d whites, they are white we are black thus one mans' meat is another mans' poison and if eventually if such disease occur surely one day d disease go go and we will keep consuming God bless the farmers 3 Likes |

Pig is liable to carry twice as much parasites and disease snail could carry bt does that stop it consumption no!! what I discovered in a write up ahead of me was that giant african snails in florida are becoming pest as a result of low consumption of snail over there and that could replicate in any part of the world where snail consumption is very low so y should we should we africans take panadol for other peoples' headache 3 Likes |

I have being into fish farming for the past few years. I ventured into small poultry and snail farming about a year ago. I started the snail with about 60 pieces, today i have over 600 snails.Just last week i did sorting i picked over 250 pieces of small snail which i have to transfer to another pen. As regards Grasscutter, i just picked my first colony (family) about two months ago. They are doing fine Based on my observation, both the snail and Grasscutter requires patient, they are not the kinds of business you rush to in order to make quick money. Snail farming is not like our fish or poultry that you can start selling from 3 months. Likewise the Grasscutter it takes a year or more to attained the market size. The pictures were taken last week when i did the sorting.
