Starting a venture in snail farming requires space. (Open land, indoors, backyard can all be used . It depends on the "scale".)

There are new snail housing solutions I will like to introduce you to. (check images below). They help to conserve humidity while maintaining a cool temperature for the snails they house.

For a quotation on the setup of these designs (anywhere in Nigeria), please call or send a mail to farmingenquiries @gmail.com.

We can give a cost analysis for your project after a site visit to your proposed farm.

Fruit flies are attracted by decayed (rotten) fruits. Ensure you remove leftover fruits from your pen very early in the morning.

Great work man. You have made me discover a hidden passion inside of me... Thumbs up to you.

Is rearing snail for commercial purpose feasible in the North? I am thinking of the weather conditions there.
Thank you

Hey LordHugo,
I know just how it feels to get your thread running contrary to how you planned it out to be and the initial purpose you intended for it to serve. I will not like it, so that is probably why you decided to stay out of it. The truth is I and a lot of peoplee have learnt a lot of things from you and have been confident enough to start a snail farm because of your tutoring. You made it sound easy and achievable. Human beings are like that, you shouldn't expect them to be any different. Shrug it off and come back for other less annoying and more appreciative people's sake. I just registered on Nairaland to send this mesaage. Please I have a few questions to ask you and I will feel confident if you answer them. Thank you. God bless you too.

Yes pls,Hugo pls continue ur thread on snail farming.

Is this thread still active? I am a new Snail farmer here? Is it advisable to touch snail eggs with bare hands, will they hatch. Also can you incubate snail eggs found inside a snail being prepared for cooking?

The major problemof snail keeping is ant
Ant can destroy everything in a very short time

Great appreciation for sharing your expensive experience

But the major problem of snail keeping is ant
Ant can destroy everything in a very short time
How do you prevent such attack

How do ants destroy snails?

Thanks for the piece. I have a snailery of about 200 snails. I recently discovered that majority of them have lost appetite for food. I took a close look at what could be the problem, then I discovered that majority of them are having tiny white dots on their bodies and weren't that active as before. I had to isolate the infected ones, clean their house and return those ones that had no problem on their bodies. What could be wrong?

Of course it is! But you will have to create a very conducive housing structure (Thatched roof) and increase your wetting pattern.

DarkGamer:

As a new farmer, it is advisable to pickup your snail eggs with a plastic spoon to increase the hatch rate. But as you grow in the business, you'll discover efficient ways of doing these things.
Lastly, As a newbie, eggs laid in the soil by the snails should be left to hatch by itself while eggs laid carelessly on the soil can be picked and incubated separately.

It is advisable to carry out a predator check on your farm before you setup a snail farm. In cases where you have ant hills (or castles) on your farm, first destroy them and kill the ants before building.
Finally, you need to construct predator control mechanisms around your pen.

Different pen with different predator control techniques. You can as well share a picture of your housing system

You need to keep good hygiene in your snail pen. The white dots you saw is a reaction to a fungal infection. change your pen soil.

Thank you so much OP for creating this thread. May God bless you richly. For everyone else that has contributed to this thread, thanks and God bless you all.
Please I have a few questions to ask.
1. During harmattan, apart from moisting the Snail pen what else can be done to prevent the snails from going into aestivation?
2. Please how exactly are hatchlings fed and what exactly should they be fed with?
3. I plan to use one of the Snail pens as a makeshift incubator (it will be used for hatching eggs alone) and I know that the eggs needs ventilation, will it be necessary to cover the top of the pen?
4. I heard eggshells is not a good enough source of calcium for snails, how true is that?
5. What is the best stocking density for the hatchlings, growers and the breeders?
6. I understand that snails may start laying at 9 months, how old will they get before they stop laying entirely?
7. If the snails are normal and healthy, is it necessary to clean the snail pens? If yes, how often should it be cleaned?
8. Is it necessary to change the sand in a snail pen if the snails are healthy?if yes, how often should it be changed?
Sorry for the many questions
