Here are some notable choices: a) Platinum: known for its excellent disease resistance and robust growth. They are suitable for both rainy and dry seasons, making them a versatile choice for Nigerian farmers); b) Cobra F1: hybrid varieties renowned for their uniform fruit size and excellent fruit quality.

Thank you, Sir. I will try Platinum. Have heard good reports about it.

Am looking for a variety of Tomatoes with strong resistance to TYLCV, no be the one wey whiteflies go bite small dem go turn to Aid Victims.

Wht works 4 A might nt work B. It doesnt work for me, it might work 4 u.

How do you guys handle little flies in your snail farm? I have them all over my snail pen. white tiny flies. pls help

My experience with handling them:

N/B: They will never be totally eradicated as long as you feed your snails with fruits and leaves which decays after a day or two. Even the normal formulated feed will attract them after two days if not completely consumed by the snails.

1. Use either long broom or anything (clothes, nylon etc) that wont be hard on the snails to drive them away. Do it during the day or when you are about to feed them before they wake up in the evening, so that you avoid hitting them on their tentacles or fleshly bodies.
2. Pack out any decaying food remnant, and replace with new ones.
3. Change the soil if the soil and cage is too wet.
4. Some will recommend treat soil with neem extract(oil or liquid) in moderation (i have not tried this method because the first top 3 methods work for me.)

McTIPSY:
are u into snail farming

Yes. just my backyard, Sir. just a few, sir.

NGsnails:
During the dry season, the temperature is relatively high. Imagine sun rises at 6am, and sun sets around 6;30pm That's alot of heat on the snails and they really uncomfortable.
That's the more reason you need to get a monitor to the track the temperature of your pen.

Thank you, Sir. will get that soon.

Greetings everybody.
Anybody know a snail farm in Abuja?
I want hands on training not any e-book, e-video nor e-manual.

Bro, e-books, e-videos or e-manuals are also good. they have their purpose too. I used them, and i have started, and i am still yet to visit any snail farm yet. Forums are also good. like Nairaland here, the amount of good information here is staggering. you only need to be patience to read them from page to page, and connect with some of them good guys bro.
Thanks.

McTIPSY:
have u started if yes how many did u start with;; what species;;and how did u house them;nd feeding

Started like 4 months running now. I started with Tyre. Started with 20 big snails (AM) i bought from a Bush Market woman. I used four(4) tires stacked on top of each other with the last one acting as weight on the mosquitoes net i placed as a covering.
Then i bought another set of eighty snails(80) from IART moor plantation in Ibadan (My sister arranged for this and sent it through a transporter to Lagos.) These i placed on another set of 4 tires like the first one.
I then went back again to the bush woman to buy more (about 40 or more medium ones.) These i added to the first set. so i have close to 80/80 on each tires.
For the feeding, i was just going to the fruit sellers to pack their left overs (Paw paw and its peels, water melons and its peels. cocumbers, and pineapple, before one of the gurus here advice me against feeding them pineapples.)
For cleaning, tyre system is hectic for maintaining hygeine. you need to keep cleaning daily before feeding (This is where and when your passion for snail rearing is fully tested.) Use the tyre system for a month or two and you can face anything that comes with the business.
I later constructed a three layered hutch box(cage) and moved the snails to the cage, where they are till date. I have small space in my flat so i was looking for ideas on how to maximise the space. I can use tyre system all around the flat but that will be too cumbersome in the long run. Normal Cage will be fine, but it wont get me to my desired goal of 3600 snails in a year (300/month). So more research, more snooping in Nairaland, some more snooping in Instagram, google, youtube until i saw one implemented by one of the gurus here (NGSNAILS) and i bought his book on snail rearing (only cos of that housing system, though i thought i will get to find out how he constructed his. No. you only look, learn and improvise) I learnt some more things from his book and other stuffs i researched online.
Bros you go research well, and you go start, and then the learning continue, and the asking of constant questions to your mentors and others.
By the way, i built the Three storey(Layer) cage myself. No carpenters pls. Just me, and i am not a carpenter. Just an IT guy on a 7am-4pm job.
i feed the snails in the evening only. I learnt a lot from the short time of less than half a year. that's why i said start small and built from there. Presently have about 220 adult snails, and about 120 small ones hatched from their eggs. am looking to order for more from one of the ogas here( cos my goal is 500 Breeders. remember i have just some small space where i live.)
I no go fit finish the story of my experience here. e plenty. maybe another time or on more specific questions. By the way i just recently started giving them formulated feed just 2 days ago (using layers mash.) so i spent close to 4 months without formulated feed. Not that easy though. I have used both fresh and dry moringa leaves at some point. Also Milk leaves. Left over eba too. i use paw pawpaw leaves a lot. i avoid salt and pepper. i also noticed that the layers mash i bought contains a lot of salt. Might discontinue it and do my own formulation (the layer mash formula without the salt part. will just get the concentrates and mix them together myself.)
Bro, e do me. Thanks.

Understanding the season as a snail Farmer helps you to run a profitable venture.
.
The dry season is fast approaching and it's expedient we prepare ahead of this scorching, heat-smiling�️ season.
Here are some hacks to improve productivity


3️⃣ GET A MONITOR

There are 2 major components that every snail farmer must keep an eye on!
THE TEMPERATURE AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY
During Raining season, the temperature is usually very cool; making the snails to thrive well BUT at dry season, the temperature is very hot!

Keeping track on the temperature and humidity of your farm is very expedient.
Get a Thermometer and a Humidity monitor to be sure that these conditions are right for the snails to thrive!

Master, pls what's the main reason snails eggs production is lowered during the dry season even though your cage is cool and moist, even wet most times? Are there anything we can do to make them keep producing at their usual rate during this period?
Thanks

McTIPSY:
hello bro pls have u practised it before

Still on it, bro. na from the small experience wey i get i dey yan you sir.

How do I start a snail farm business? Please help. How much do I need to start and where do I get the snails?

Start small first, and learn the rope first. Box or tire. 20-50 Breeders(point of lay, or already laying), AM. Buy from Bush market women, or buy directly from those who picked from the bush, or go to one of the gurus' farm here and buy. if you can't go, then order from them (they hardly sell below 100 if you are ordering.)
Just make sure you start small; its not as easy as you hear or read from books or forum.

pls how possible is that (the bolded portion), Bro?

akinsmail51:
Yes, it is. Lightening of a snailery makes it easy to detect snail predators and snail enemies. It also increase snail activities in the pen and aid proper feeding in the night.

Yes, you need to use dry plantain leaves for mulching. And there may be a need to replace them after a while or you add to them as the snails feed on these leaves as well. They also hide under these dry leaves during the day. Eating plantain leaves is normal and it has no implications.

You may take the opportunity to learn the basics and business of snail farming by participating in our forthcoming training. Kindly chat up with me on WhatsApp via +2348065524808 or call +2348024743010 for more guidance.

That's a new one for me (the bolded part). Thanks Bro.

Lands still available and selling...
Don't be left out.

Conry:
Pls and please, do not mind those telling you that land will be worth triple in a year time. its a fat lie. Land usually dont triple that way until the various land or estate owners start developing their landed properties. Anything in Ibeju-Lekki is an investment that will grow over time. Expect 2 - 5 years from your investment to start appreciating. Do not over salivate over the fact that the lands look cheap. it is buy, secure, keep, and wait(it will appreciate in value when meaningful projects start taking places)
All i know is that anybody who invested in a genuine land in Ibeju-Lekki will never regret it because the property will definitely give you value for your money. And do not say that it is far. Remember Lekki, Chevron Area, VGC, Ajah were all far before now. Go touch one small property for there now, and your bank account go tell you exactly how far.

Below is one of my favourite quote from a movie:
"To find out if a country is rich or poor look at the bins(waste bins).
If there are bins and no rubbish, it's rich.
if there's rubbish by the bins, it's neither rich nor poor, it's touristy.
And if there's rubbish but no bins, then it's poor."

Value is all about perception, but perception doesn't just come without a reason. And individually or as a group we are responsible for how we or other people perceived the value (money wise, or otherwise) of our environment. Rubbish everywhere and no bins provided by somebody or the community, downhill goes the value of our location. This is just a few aspect on how a location is perceived. Clean environment, good drainage system, good collective security (Community vigilante or Gated Estate security, individuals of good net worth, all will help to raise or even hype up the value of a location.
when buying land or property in a new area, don't go to buy alone. Get your colleagues, your network of business partners,friends and family to join you. With time, the value will shoot up, which will attract more quality and great individuals, and the circle will keep repeating until eternity.

Thanks Bros for the enlightenment.
Pls is that bulbs(light source) in the snail pens in the picture above? Pls what is the purpose of that Sir?
Wont the Dry(not wet) plantain leaves turn wet/moist after sometime? do we need to constantly change the wet or moist ones.
Also, pls what is the implication of the snails eating the plantain leaves(moist or dry?) Is it normal for them to eat it?
Thanking you for your anticipated reply.

Business at whatever level is all about trust. Due to Nigerian factors, those buying dont seems to find honest people dealing or selling, and the honest sellers dont have enough buyers willing to trust them or what they are offering. It's a vicious circle with nobody willing to give in, and good investment goes to waste.

Genuine land offering from honest and trusted party still available...

Trust me, and check me out first. I have a more to lose if this go haywire:

It is good to drive more good people towards your area/location to invest. That is part of what makes for a highly valued environment in the long run.

hafeez65:
Why not go to Ogun State, Abeokuta, Where farmland is cheaper @N300,000 acre.

Well... depending on his location. Lagos might still be cheaper, economical or more profitable in the long run, if he lives within Lagos (maybe not too far from those areas he mentioned.)

"People will trade their money for things that they find more valuable than the money they just spent."

I recall how my Dad used to cut chunks of shares he has in companies and sell to make ends meet, when the end seems far(when we were in hard times). i also remembered the lands he sold after keeping it it for some years.

You will always spend money. Why not spend it on things that do appreciate in value.

Lands still available - Genuine land, no omonile wahala.
