The way these guys dey chop ehnn.
Do you know that these species of snail are actually banned in the US, there are considered as an invasive specie, so you can’t bring a live snail into the US. A county in Florida was quarantined because of the discovery of some African Giant snail.

Deepocean:


How do you know the hatching temperature range to regulate the incubator for hatching?

they do not require any specific temperature to hatch, not too hot, not too cold, away from sunlight. Moist loamy soil…. That’s the perfect simulation of the garden temperature

My makeshift incubator.
Sincerely I don’t really have to incubate the eggs, but the snails broke an egg the last time I went to check on the previous clutch of eggs

This is how they burrow to lay, 7 eggs was gotten from this clutch

SanctifiedSista:

They will never call u, just mess u up and destabilise you, don't say I did not warn u

Aremson14:

Are you in Ilorin by chance?

No

ricardovincente:


Can I get your digits bro?

I will send it to your mail

Dig a hole, the size of the shovel mouth. Then pour palm oil or soup into it. Come back after 30 minutes to 1 hour. Once you see ants, boil water asap and pour the hot water inside the hole starting from the mouth of the hole. After they have died, bury them inside that same hole, you can repeat it once in a week. This is how I keep ants away from my snail farm

bidemirahmon:

satelliteDISH:


Op, this baby egg never still mature

21 to 40 days

Akposy:
Well done sir.

Your progress is inspiring. I started a small snail garden about 2 months ago using 2 tyres and wild snails. Although I don't have time to maintain them (24 snails), I still feed them with lettuce & bell peppers left over from the farm.

From your post, I learnt they need calcium supplement. I might crush some egg shells and feed them with it.

Great work. Maybe I should start a thread on vegetable cultivation

I will advice that you don’t start with wild snails, their production will be low as they are not used to being in captivity.

Canyona1:
what are you feeding them with

Chicken layers marsh with a mixture of calcium. I source my calcium from grinned egg shell

Canyona1:
is it a species name

yes

hahn:


Interesting.

I recently acquired on plot of land and my initial plan was to train snails on it though I have decided to go with turkeys instead.

You are now making me rethink my decision.

Maybe I will also do a mini snail farm on the side and see how it goes

perfect, the best is to start small scale

AnthonyAk:


I think it should be fine even with the transparent trap since the place is not air tight.

Either way you want the place to always be moist adding plants is a good look to provide shade.

Maybe even adding some sort of system to provide a mist of water

wow I love this

osazsky:
how often do u do this sir

whenever i feel like, it’s not necessary.

jessylaurel:



I never knew snail lay eggs

haha, they are not mammals

osazsky:
are the feeds expensive..how much is a bag and how many weeks will one bag finish..y did u plant vegetables if they dont feed on vegetables...so that u can see ur snails clearly ..I need more info cuz I like this biz..snails are very costly in Edo so I feel I can cash out pls send me ur watsapp contact sir..thks

i just started the farm so I can’t say… I bought the feed 2500/5kg from the farmer, tho it might be cheaper in the market. I’m still a novice in this, you should contact professionals if you want to go commercial.

osazsky:
do u still buy feed after planting vegeyables

yes Hen layers marsh with a mix of calcium powder. It’s just a supplement so their shell can grow fast and strong

osazsky:
u mean u will clean each snail...then how often..I am interested in this...did u use leaves to cover the net untop the snail house before introducing the snails pls can I have ur numb

no, just pour rushing water on all of them and remove immediately, the dirt comes off easily.

DHaran:
Is your hp laptop core i3 or core i7

intel celeron, lags as Bleep

I am going to demonstrate how I keep ants away from the garden very soon.

softguy1:


Woow this is amazing..
Please did you cover the roof? What are the things you planted there and how do you keep the room spray water or how... Please answer the questions please thanks

if it’s covered, the plant won’t germinate. I usually hand wet, but it has been raining lately so I don’t wet often

Eaglernorwich:
good evening sir ya doing well, please how long does it take a snail to lay eggs,and after laying how long will it take to ash it and marketing level?

6 to 7 months to reach laying stage depending on calcium feeding intake, hatching is between 21 to 40 days depending on the breed of snail and the eggs environment. Marketing level is usually a year and 6 months or more, but it’s all depends on how you feed and care for your snails

coolfredo:
Pls how many months will it take for the snail to mature

when you say maturity, I believe you mean the age a snail starts laying; depending on how you feed your snails, they should begin laying at 6 months old

domack99:
You need a sprinkler in there, contact Moboj for wobbler sprinkler. She is on Nairaland

i don’t need that for now. Maybe when I go bigger in the future.

AnthonyAk:
U should wrap the greenhouse with dark tarp to keep it cool. Snails hate sun light also u need to keep the area moist during the dry season

I believe tarp with secrete heat. School me please…. Tho I already ordered shaded net on aliexpress. It’s still on transit

Tonight’s feeding frenzy
