The notion some people hold against snail farming with regard to its money building capacity is becoming very alarming, resulting in rapid decrement at the rate which people venture into it.

However, the good news is that you can strike a difference, take advantage of the market and enjoy some level of at least, regional monopoly.

Here are some reasons you may consider before taking decision:

Healthwise
An average snail is comprised of 80% water, 15% protein and 2.4% fat. They contain essential fatty acids, calcium, iron, selenium, magnesium and are a rich source of vitamins E, A, K and B12.
The benefits of snail slime were recognised in ancient Greece by Hippocrates who used it to heal skin and ulcers and to reduce scarring.

Moneywise
Snail slime is one of the (if not the no. 1) most expensive animal waste in the world.
Currently, the average international price of slime is $1,000 per liter. Snail slime is a very expensive commodity and the market is worth over 360 million US dollars globally.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Sorry for the late response. I've been offline for some time.
I have no snail farm currently. However, we once owned one at home when I was still home.
I was never the main role player. So the only clues I can help you with are:
1. We kept them safe; away from direct sunlight (about 8ft well constructed underground square pit).
2. We fed them mainly with banana and plantain pills (except in rare situations where they are given special supplements, which I know nothing about).

I hope this helps
