*🐌 Snail Farming for Beginners – Quick Guide*
Snail farming (heliciculture) is a low-risk, profitable venture ideal for small-scale farmers. Snails are easy to manage, require little space, and have high market demand.
*What to Look Out For:*
1. *Choose the Right Species* – *Achatina achatina* or *Achatina fulica* are good for tropical areas.
2. *Housing* – Use pens, boxes, or trenches. Ensure they are moist, cool, and escape-proof.
3. *Soil Type* – Loose, loamy soil with good drainage is best for burrowing and egg-laying.
4. *Feeding* – Feed snails with vegetables, fruits, calcium-rich sources (like eggshells), and formulated feed if needed.
5. *Humidity* – Keep the environment moist (around 70–90% humidity). Avoid dryness.
6. *Handling* – Handle gently to avoid shell damage.
7. *Pests* – Watch out for ants, snakes, or rats. Keep the pen clean and secure.
Start small, observe, and grow gradually. Snail farming is slow-paced but rewarding!
