It's his money. Is it yours?

Thank God. I bet he was sleeping. That happens a lot. Its wise to always pay attention on the driver if you take a public bus.

crossblane1:
thanks but it not the coconut but the snail size itself.I meant how long will it take to attain that size from hatching. and what's the current market price of such size of snail.

Put a ruler beside that snail so I can see the size.

crossblane1:
pls what's the specie of this snail.and how much
does it sell now on wholesale .and how long will it
take a snail to achieve such size under normal
condition. pls reply ASAP.

Achatina Marginata.

2.5 yrs to 3yrs. That's assuming that coconut is the size am thinking.

They need buhari o

So? What do we do with this now?

Then they need to improve more else am not paying extra.

Send me your mail to Afrocatalyst@gmail.com
We will send you list of materials you will need. You can do it yourself. But we can come do it for you too if you want.

amerengues:

BELEXYFARMS:
How much will it cost for u to do something like this for me?

On what size of farm? Sizes in ft pls.

Don't use chemicals that are not organic to fumigate your house or farm,especially in Lagos or any city in Lagos. We already have enough smoke littering the air. Use Newlion fumigation chemical to treat your homes and farms.

Glaxx:
When you say environment, what do you mean exactly. Is it the soil composition or absence of noise and disturbance.

All of them.

Very much available

crossblane1:
how long does it take a snail to start laying eggs

Every snail becomes sexually active from 6months. They then mate with their kind. This can happen at the same sixth month,depending on how good the environment is. Some have the opportunity to mate later than others.

Mating can last up to 12hours. During this exercise,the two snails involved exchange semen and fertilize each other. (Hope you know each snail is a haemophrodite?).

After the whole exercise egglaying starts. And the good thing about them is that one mating can serve them for as long as 4years. They are very good sperm storers. They lay once every two months with the right environment. In snail farming,environment is everything.

Glaxx:
OK. But like how much is the net roofing in the picture worth?

150k

Glaxx:
Please, what material did you use for the roof?

I didn't. The owner suggested that (which is OK).

That's the normal mosquito net you know.

automania:
So at what point do you introduce the breeder snails? After 7-10 days or after 70-100 days?
Thanks for all the info.

Some of the plants we use reach maturity in 55 days after seed planting. So we introduce the snails a week before the 55th day. The ones that attain maturity in 70 to 100 days are used for the growing fields,not the breeders field.

Sisters?

Protection against ants. Notice the line on the cemented floor.

Piping. Irrigation. Vegetation(seed planting)

dennismukoro:
will the chemical not affect the snail. also how many snail will it contain

No it won't. It should be done outside the perimeter itself. How many will what contain?




Shelter.

Humblega:
What if termites burrow frm d ground right inside the farm? Having in mind that termites could travel kms under d ground.

Nice observation.

Those ones will be taken care of at the outside perimeter. The ground just round the outside perimeter will be treated once every month with fumigation chemical using a watering can so it can go deeper into the ground. That takes care of underground travellers.

I had to search out this picture of our first farm to show those that worry about termites how we control them in this system. Check out the line round the perimeter on the cemented side. It is done so you can put oil into it,prolly black oil from the mechanics around. Its cheap.

Termites and ants don't fly obviously,so they have to crawl past that line before they get to the farm..

Acquiring the perimeter fencing material.
