Next, I will tell you how to spot a sick snail and what to do. Stay tuned!!

Point No. 2: Did they tell you that snails too fall sick?
No, I am sure they didn't either because they don't know or they don't want to scare you. 80% of "Snailpreneurs" ( name coined by me) don't know because the are not practicing farmers but arm chair internet farmers who research from other snail e-book publishers.
Snails fall sick too!!! This is because just like every other animals, they also possess complete anatomy ( immune system inclusive) so they too suffer from immune system breakdown, invasion by foreign bodies ( germs, virus, fungus, etc) and infections, etc.

There are so many journals about snail farming than are snails in the market today. So many writers and teachers of the business than the farmers themselves. Most of these journals and trainers either by act of omission or commission proffer information that are either fallacious, incomplete or misleading.
As a snailpreneur, I elect to correct some of these fallacies. For instance:
They told you that snails farming is very lucrative and you will make millions of Naira within a short time but what they did not tell you is that " it will require patience and a lot of hardwork.
Okay yes, it is very lucrative but you need to put in time and efforts in ensuring that your snails are comfortable in terms of temperature control. you have to source for and provide food for them twice a day. Remove leftover food, provide them with a hiding place by placing banana, plantain or coconut leaves in the pen, etc. Now, that takes a lot of work.
My point is ( which is the purpose of this thread) " without trying to discourage you from going into snail farming, you should be told all the truth about it so that you will be better positioned to get it right once you venture into it. For I have seen a lot of people go into this our very sweet and profitable business ill -armed, record looses and get discouraged. That should not be allowed to continue in this harsh economy where money is hard to come by. Stay with me as I unveil more home truths about snail farming.
