'what is dead may never die again'. Data loss indeed.
God save us all from evil plotters seeking to always setback their neighbor.

Welcome back!

Baby fulicas still available. Fresh from a free range farm.

We're still here.

Good to know. Thanks.

@ Afrocatalyst.

I'll like to visit your snailery.

Where is it located?

Please don't accept to do anything apart from free range in snail farming. If you have a minimum of a standard plot (120 by 60), you can set up a free range system that yield at least 50,000 snails every cycle. Contact me for your farm set up/management trainings.

Dear Afrocatalyst,

Please Can i have your email or Phone number?

1. Fulicas grow bigger in lenght than marginata, which means they weigh better. And they are more rugged and easy to adapt than marginata.
2. They feed on what every other snail eats, like fresh leaves, fruits and a good source of calcium,evryday. I will get back on good sources of calcium for most of us snail farmers in Nigeria.
3.they can mate once and lay eggs continously for up to 5years and above. They are good semen savers. They become sexually active from 6months and lay eggs in clutches after a long period of mating. Their eggs enter into 400 in one lay. You see why its the best specie of snail for commercial farmers.
4. I am just a passionate snail farmer. I do nt consult but share ideas and experiences with interested persons. I wil see if i can upload the pictures. I already told you am in abule egba. I also already told you my price per baby fulica. I wil get back to you on ma xperiences wit getting a good source of calcium for them apart from cuttlebone which is not readily available to us here in Nigeria unlike our counterparts abroad. A fulica deprived of calciun is like saying to it 'i sentence you to death by hanging'. Lol.

I know this post is old, put i need to correct some information i read here

The fulica species is a Giant african snail, but it is the smallest of the three,

They are :

Achatina fulica,
Archachatina marginata and
Achatina achatina

The biggest is achatina achatina followed by marginata then fulica.

WOW
Thank you for all these information
Can I start my snail farm inside my house
I plan to use a room inside my house and my balcony
I read about someone that used a room inside her house
Can I do the same as I currently do not have a plot of land
How much will it cost me from start to finish
The room is a normal room side with two big windows, while the balcony is the size of a normal balcony
Also my friend wants to know if she can use her backyard
Its about half of a quarter plot
Thank you

Afrocatalyst:
I have any quantity you want. Fulica achatina is the best breed for commercial snail farming which has proven to be a mine of wealth to those who have discovered it in this our dear country,Nigeria, and are doing it while laboring under correct knowledge. (luck). They produce well and grow bigger than any other snail. It is truly the west african giant snail. It weighs heavily too and is very rugged. We export too. All our baby fulicas have been raised under captivity and given the right amount of calcium to ensure continous growth. Cal me on 08073122596. Am in lagos.

Hi Afrocatalyst, this is your baby girlfriend new in the snail farming . I just picked up my snail 4days ago now this trend has been helpful. Thank you.
I have a little problem dealing with ants and cockroaches,feeding and cleaning my pen because am using a n old fish pond. what can I do?

I just started rearing like 20 mail snails cos of my interest and because i don't have much to built a better pen for them now though i keep them in a barf just last week i changed their soil and i did just wat you said cos i notice some termites and i spread the soil on the ground and i removed all the termites and i changed their soil but this last monday make it a week now and i bless God because i know Rome was not built in a day. i called my furniture guy to build on and to let me know how much it cost.

Buh I can tell you I now love them like my real pet and you can't imaging they have being mating.

My Question Afrocatalyst: If they mate today when will the mating start becoming eggs cos i can't wait?
2. I realise their poop is getting much and but if you don't remove it will it cos damage?

fagbenrooluwatosin@gmail.com is my mail I will like to know you more for future partnership thanks

please sir can i have ur numba i too want to start i think u might help

please where can i get calcium supplements for my snail. i don`t have any idea about this.

Afrocatalyst:
I tried a lot of things to supplement the calcium my snails get evryday apart from the one from the soil. I tried boiled egg shell by removin the inside layer and crushing. They hardly ate it. I went to the market and got limestone (nzu in igbo). I washed it an broke it for them and placed it ,they ate it bt not much. I later discovered a better way. When changing the soil,i grind the limestone to powder and mix wit d soil before placing them. (note that its necessary to change the soil once in two month). That way,while eatin the soil,they take it in. I noticed their shell getting stronger and more polished.

please where can i get calcium supplements or lime stone in the market.
