How do I start a snail farm business? Please help. How much do I need to start and where do I get the snails?

Start small first, and learn the rope first. Box or tire. 20-50 Breeders(point of lay, or already laying), AM. Buy from Bush market women, or buy directly from those who picked from the bush, or go to one of the gurus' farm here and buy. if you can't go, then order from them (they hardly sell below 100 if you are ordering.)
Just make sure you start small; its not as easy as you hear or read from books or forum.

If You Can Spare 3hours For Just 3 Days, You Too Can Become A "Successful Snail Entrepreneur" Without Hassle.
....And Earn a Five-Figure Passive Income Every Month—Even While You Still Maintain Your Full Time Job.

Nature has given us what it takes to conquer hunger, poverty and unemployed if Nigerians can only take snail farming serious. Taking snail farming serious promotes self-employment, serves as a source of income to the populace and means of earning foreign exchange to the government. Snail farming in Nigeria is one of the most neglected farming practices in Nigeria yet the opportunities abound likewise the potentials.

There's a huge gap in the supply of giant snails in our dear country due to our rapid growing population, and the daily increase in the market demand for giant snails most especially in the wake of rapid awareness among the populace about the highly nutritious value of giant land snails. This gap presents a pressing need begging for solutions; hence whoever possesses the knowledge of snail farming or he/she is opportune to learn its basics, can utilize this opportunity judiciously through rearing, processing and marketing of snails in various stages such as young snails, breeders, table size, etc, throughout the seasons.

Snail is still in short supply in Nigeria today going by the recent preliminary market analysis suggesting that an additional 25,000 tons, or a 100 per cent increase can easily be absorbed. Currently, the demand for snail outweighs the supply. So the market is wide and readily available as the snail farmers are not currently meeting demands. Participate in this seminar "Becoming a Successful Snail Entrepreneur" for just #5,000 —and you’ll never have to attend any workshops again, because of the priceless knowledge you'll gain.

Our revolutionary "Ecorecovery Seminar" improves your earnings at least two folds higher than your present earning capacity. Imagine how interesting life will be when you finally realize that making money via snail farming is easy—and how proud it will make you!

have u started if yes how many did u start with;; what species;;and how did u house them;nd feeding

Started like 4 months running now. I started with Tyre. Started with 20 big snails (AM) i bought from a Bush Market woman. I used four(4) tires stacked on top of each other with the last one acting as weight on the mosquitoes net i placed as a covering.
Then i bought another set of eighty snails(80) from IART moor plantation in Ibadan (My sister arranged for this and sent it through a transporter to Lagos.) These i placed on another set of 4 tires like the first one.
I then went back again to the bush woman to buy more (about 40 or more medium ones.) These i added to the first set. so i have close to 80/80 on each tires.
For the feeding, i was just going to the fruit sellers to pack their left overs (Paw paw and its peels, water melons and its peels. cocumbers, and pineapple, before one of the gurus here advice me against feeding them pineapples.)
For cleaning, tyre system is hectic for maintaining hygeine. you need to keep cleaning daily before feeding (This is where and when your passion for snail rearing is fully tested.) Use the tyre system for a month or two and you can face anything that comes with the business.
I later constructed a three layered hutch box(cage) and moved the snails to the cage, where they are till date. I have small space in my flat so i was looking for ideas on how to maximise the space. I can use tyre system all around the flat but that will be too cumbersome in the long run. Normal Cage will be fine, but it wont get me to my desired goal of 3600 snails in a year (300/month). So more research, more snooping in Nairaland, some more snooping in Instagram, google, youtube until i saw one implemented by one of the gurus here (NGSNAILS) and i bought his book on snail rearing (only cos of that housing system, though i thought i will get to find out how he constructed his. No. you only look, learn and improvise) I learnt some more things from his book and other stuffs i researched online.
Bros you go research well, and you go start, and then the learning continue, and the asking of constant questions to your mentors and others.
By the way, i built the Three storey(Layer) cage myself. No carpenters pls. Just me, and i am not a carpenter. Just an IT guy on a 7am-4pm job.
i feed the snails in the evening only. I learnt a lot from the short time of less than half a year. that's why i said start small and built from there. Presently have about 220 adult snails, and about 120 small ones hatched from their eggs. am looking to order for more from one of the ogas here( cos my goal is 500 Breeders. remember i have just some small space where i live.)
I no go fit finish the story of my experience here. e plenty. maybe another time or on more specific questions. By the way i just recently started giving them formulated feed just 2 days ago (using layers mash.) so i spent close to 4 months without formulated feed. Not that easy though. I have used both fresh and dry moringa leaves at some point. Also Milk leaves. Left over eba too. i use paw pawpaw leaves a lot. i avoid salt and pepper. i also noticed that the layers mash i bought contains a lot of salt. Might discontinue it and do my own formulation (the layer mash formula without the salt part. will just get the concentrates and mix them together myself.)
Bro, e do me. Thanks.

Bro, e-books, e-videos or e-manuals are also good. they have their purpose too. I used them, and i have started, and i am still yet to visit any snail farm yet. Forums are also good. like Nairaland here, the amount of good information here is staggering. you only need to be patience to read them from page to page, and connect with some of them good guys bro.
Thanks.
