They are hermaphrodites and lay eggs , they cross fertilise their eggs

But in 7-8 months, they will be worth N250 each. N300 in the middle of the dry season. (December to march)

what's the cost of the year old snails?
Re: Have You Ever Seen Some Days Old Snail Before? by ViktorMartins(m): 4:26pm On Nov 15, 2015
JJKADRY. Nice try but I noticed you didn't cut the unripe pawpaw into small sizes, it will save the snails a Lotta strength when eating.
Again, that soil looks sordic maybe it's your camera resolution tho, try and get moist silt-loam
Finally, what breed is that? It looks Archachatina marginata to me, is it?

Snails are hermaphrodites; ie. they have both male and female sex organs. The male organ fertilizes the egg even before it is laid.

To snails, Humidity is a matter of life and death.

If the approaching harmattan is the cause of their deaths , then watering of pens should be done in the evening. I repeat for emphasis....Evenings. do not water in the day time.

On the other hand, healthy snails should 'normally aestivate' in such a dry period.

Check for pests.
Flies.
and simple moisture and relative humidity.

Place a saucer of water in each 1*1m pen space.

Any other questions?

We should be careful not to mistake age with price.

I discussed price under the premise that the snails were raised under 'organic and innovative methods'.

For a well "farm raised" 1 year old snail....350-400 is achievable.

Snails from the wild or improperly fed and managed would take 2 years to attain that size and hence, market price.

For snails, size is price...not age.
