If you're not in haste and to save cost, instead of doing German floor, just reorganize the pit in a small portion/a room...build a structure suitable for snails using wood and mosquito net...fill with sterilized loamy soil(dark soul)...put sterilized plantain leaves..and stock up good pol snails from a reputable snail farm...

these items are easy to come by in Benin here or any area you're in Edo state.

you will place the soil in the pot-big pot or drum, then set fire beneath and make sure every part is hot to high degree that can kill pathogens...likewise the plantain leaves, get dried plantain leaves and fold them into a pot or large drum depending on the quantity you plan on using, cook or steam it to high degree, then use....take note these processes are to kill pathogens which might pose a threat to ur snails
