Snails don’t D!e suddenly — They give warning & signs before they do.

As a snail farming consults, One of the challenges that beginners mostly complained about is (High Casualty), and when you asked about what is wrong, their response will be “they just d!ed overnigh.”

Listen: Snails rarely d!e in their number without giving signals. The problem is not sudden death — it’s missed warnings.

Before losses happen, snails speak quietly. Reduced movement, weak feeding response, excessive mucus, staying buried too long, stay on a spot too long, foul smell from the soil, or unusual clustering are all early distress signals. These signs can appear days or even weeks before d€ath, but many farmers overlook them because the snails are still alive.

Most times, the real issues are environmental mismanagement: poor soil aeration, excess moisture, rising bacteria, wrong feed balance, heat stress, or buildup of waste.... Indeed, snails are resilient, but they are not careless. When conditions stay wrong for too long, the body shuts down — and some farmers blame it on wrong snail breed.

Here’s the inspiring truth: farmers who observe closely rarely lose snails mysteriously. Snail farming rewards attention, not assumptions. Ten minutes of daily observation and adjustments can save months of effort and capital.

Successful farmers don’t wait for de@d snails to take action. They respond to small changes before they become disasters.

Snails are always communicating.
The real question is: are you paying attention?

If this spoke to you, comment “OBSERVE” and let’s raise healthier, smarter farms.

Snail farming isn’t about how many snails you buy or how big your farm is… it’s about how well you managed them.
Moisture, stocking density, feed quality, record keeping and proper hygiene are 80% of your success.
Most farmers lose money not because snails are hard, but because they treat snail farming like INVESTMENTS where you “put and forget.”
In reality, snail farming is a management business — and once you master the system, profit becomes predictable.

So tell me:
Are you managing your snail farm properly or just hoping for luck?

Snail farming, or heliciculture, can be highly lucrative and profitable if approached in the right way , but beginners often make common mistakes that hinder their success dew to lack of knowledge and attention to details. Here’s a list of 10 common pitfalls and how to avoid them:

1. Choosing the Wrong Species.
- Mistake: Starting with snails that are not suitable for your climate or market demand and acceptance.
- Solution:Research and select species like •Achachatina marginata•, •Achatina achatina•, •Achatina fulica•, or •Helix aspersa• based on your country, region, environment and target market.

2. Improper Housing
- Mistake:Using poorly designed or insecure pens, leading to escapes or exposure to predators.
- Solution: Construct escape-proof, predator-resistant pens with proper ventilation and protection from extreme weather.

3. Poor Feed Management
- Mistake: Feeding snails an imbalanced or spoilt foods.
- Solution: Provide a balanced diet rich in calcium (for shell growth) and fresh vegetables, fruits, and supplementary feeds.

4. Ignoring Humidity and Temperature
- Mistake: Failing to maintain the ideal humidity (70-90%) and temperature (25-30°C) levels.
- Solution: Regularly monitor and adjust these conditions using sprinklers, shade, or heaters as needed.

5. Overcrowding
- Mistake: Placing too many snails in one enclosure, leading to stress, slower growth, and diseases.
- Solution: Maintain appropriate stocking density, typically 7-15 snails per square meter, depending on their size.

6. Poor Soil Quality
- Mistake: Using soil that is either too acidic or lacks nutrients.
- Solution: Use nutrient-rich, well-draining soil with a pH between 5.8 and 7.5. Test your soil regularly.

7. Neglecting Breeding Management
- Mistake: Not selecting healthy, mature snails for breeding.
- Solution: Choose active snails with intact shells and good growth rates. Avoid inbreeding by introducing new snails periodically.

8. Inadequate Pest and Disease Control
- Mistake: Failing to protect snails from predators & pests like snake, rats, ants or birds and diseases caused by poor hygiene.
- Solution: Maintain clean enclosures, remove food waste daily, and inspect for pests or infections regularly.

9. Starting Too Big Too Soon
- Mistake: Investing heavily before gaining experience.
- Solution: Start small, learn the process, and scale gradually as you gain expertise and understand your market.

10. Ignoring Market Research
- Mistake: Failing to identify buyers before starting the farm.
- Solution: Understand your local and export markets, including preferences for specific snail species, sizes, preparation method and marketing dynamics.

By avoiding these common snail farming mistakes, you can optimize your farm's productivity, reduce mortality rates, and increase profitability.

Remember, snail farming is a complex and nuanced industry that requires careful planning, attention to detail, and a commitment to best practices. By seeking knowledge, staying informed, adapting to changing conditions, and continuously improving your operations, you can succeed in this rewarding and lucrative industry.
