Aestivation, Hibernation by maxipharo(m): 12:11pm On Jan 13, 2020 |
Some call it Aestivation, while some call it Hibernation This is just a way snails use to protect themselves from harsh weather condition especially during the dry season. By covering their face with a whitish thick membrane called cyst or hymen. They neither eat nor drink this period until the weather condition is perfect again. Don’t panic when you notice this, it is usually harmless to your snails How to overcome this Ensure there is enough mulch material in the snail pen (dry leaves) to help conserve moisture Sprinkle the pen with water once in two days (avoid flooding the pen with water) Regulate the relative humidity of your pen environment by planting shelter plants around(such as plantain, paw paw trees) Ensure there is adequate feed for the Snails Need a Snail expert to talk to?
