midastouch: Hello Friends, I sincerely hope that this thread will not degenerate into the selling of manuals, e-books, and fictitious consultancy services! As a precaution, any so-called expert MUST post CURRENT (Not 4 year old pics o) photos of his farming operations in the different phases of hatching, grow-out, fattening, and sales. No scams please! If you copy pictures from the internet, I will out and shame you. Not at all. Snail farming is as easy as ABC. Ask your questions. I just catch good species and deposit them in my my backyard. Just lazy to build pens.. Their main food is humus soil, banana leaves, dead leaves, anything green matter. Then they don't like direct sunlight, oil, ants and lizards... 1 Like |

pragmatist_m: Now that a poster has mentioned the issue about snail enemies, let us learn what are the enemies and how to keep them off. Keep salt very far away from snails. Meaning, no feeding of snails with food prepared with salt. Avoid direct sunshine from ur snail pens or cage. Now...Add ur own jare... |

ozo-dimgba: NB: dont venture into comercial snail farming with ignorance, the mortality rate might be too disastrous. You need a mentor to guide you frm start to finish. We often advise our students to ensure thier snail pen/house is fully ready and comfortable for snails to thrive in thier new home in ur bacckyard. So MANY factors MUST be considerd before you start Heliculture business. Pls note do not start with Juvinile (baby snails), let ur foundation stocks be matured giant African snails, so they can mate and start reproduction soon. ========================= TO ORDER GIANT AFRICAN SNAILS FOR BREEDING & FOR ONE-ON-ONE OR GROUP TRAINING VISIT: Legit Wealth Farms #15 Ebony-Orazi Rd.

pragmatist_m: Now that a poster has mentioned the issue about snail enemies, let us learn what are the enemies and how to keep them off.there are lots of enemies of snails, from owl if outdoor, centipedes, lizards for small ones, termites/soldier ants(only a sting is enough to kill a snail; your snail will only crawl/withdraw in & never comes out,am not talking of hibernation in dry season/lack of moisture),beetles,frogs, ducks if u have any, leftover feeds- this help disease spread,which would result in death, salt also is an enemy |

How to Build A Snail Pen What a Snail Pen Is Farm animals are usually kept in pens so as to restrict their movement. A good snail pen enables the breeder to monitor his or her stock at all times with ease. So, a snail pen is just a single fence-in area which restricts the movement of snails and protects them. It can be built using corrugated sheet metals, fine mesh chicken wire or woven plant materials from split bamboo. Usually, a snail pen would always be free of weeds or overgrown grasses. It must have shelter plants like plantain, coconut, pawpaw, banana and pineapple to provide shade. The pens are constructed in various sizes depending on your land space. Depending on the size available to you, you can have: 1m x 1m, 1.5m x 1m, 5m x 5m or 10m x 5m. With a 1m x 1m pen space, you can comfortably stock 50 giant snails. The need to Grow Shelter Plants What are shelter plants? They are plants that provide cool shade or serve as windbreakers in a snail pen. They are extra source of food for snails to aid quick growth. Snails can choose what to eat from any of the shelter plants. Some common shelter plants are banana trees, plantain trees, pawpaw trees, oil palm tree and coconut trees. These shelter plants overtime helps to suppress the growth of weeds and grasses in the pen. When there's excessive rain, they climb and hide under the plants. http://wealthandsuccess..in/2011/09/make-money-doing-snail-business.html?m=1 1 Like

franksunny: How do i water my snail during dry season and i need more clue on how to ward away soldier ant pleaseu can breed them under banana/plantain trees,it would reduce heat intensity, wet them with watering can if outdoor, but dont water logged their habitat, for termite,initially assess your choice of location & prepare d spot well, remove dirts, it attracts termites, ash can ward them off, used engine oil can be used to mark a barrier against ants e.t.c, but u have to guard your snails also from reaching it |

Can carton be used in rearing snail?for those that doesn't have land or space |
Re: Snail Farming Thread -- Let's Make It Work by excelsiorfarm(m): 7:33am On Jul 05, 2014 |
merit12: Can carton be used in rearing snail?for those that doesn't have land or spaceusing carton has its many challenges,first when water come on it,it becomes soak & messy,hence it create room for development of fungi with bacteria. slime buildup in d carton will result in massive death of your snails.slime causes more death than u can imagine, that is what many hardly discern in their snailery setup |

19naia: People need to also recognize the diseases that humans can get from snails....The most nightmarish nervous system infections are carried by snails and spread by rats as well...Where there are people and food, rats will be there, the snails eat rat feces also and rats sometimes eat snails or the same vegetables and pellets the snails eat and slime on....They share diseases this way.....Snails cellular structure is most similar to mammal nervous cell structure, and so it is when humans get infected by snail diseases, the disease thrives in the nervous cells and does damage there.. |
