Good to hear this B!

Just a quickie:

Assuming one wants to start snailry, say medium scale, from what sources
will provide good initial stock?

Any suggestion on breed mortality / disease resistance?

Cheers

I'll always advice it be from a snail farm (even though I got some from the local market). There you'll get all the info you need such as; age, breed, feed, drugs e.t.c because a 3yr old snail bred in captivity is the equivalent of a 5yr old snail in the wild.

But if you buy from the market or pick from the wild, note the following;
1. The shell should be smooth and neither cracked nor broken
2. They should be active and not aestivated snails
3. The shell should be brightly colored
4. The flesh should be smooth
5. They should not be too big

Archachatina Marginata are the least susceptible to infections but if you maintain good hygeine, you may not have to worry much

All I've posted is the ideal based on what I've experienced though it may differ elsewhere. If you know any other snail farm(er), you could also get info concerning all I've posted.

I'm yet to put my snails on offer cos I've not reached my target after the epidemic I encountered sometimes ago but my valuation stands.

Oga fowe, As for the "Youth Programme"; it was the annual "youth weekend" in my church. we had a series of "out-of-the-box" programmes geared at strengthening the love in the church and opening the minds of the youth to the fact that the future is not dependent on the present situation.

*every youth must have a vision (dream) for the future and must pursue it irrespective of background.
*hope fuels every vision even as Abraham hoped for the promise despite the fact that he had "passed his prime"
* most of all, God can make great things out of anything.

Aside that, the youth (girls) had a football match with the women fellowship and surprisingly were defeated 2:0 by the seemingly aged but agile mothers.
We also had an aerobic session for the entire church where we had some calisthenics and dance exercises.

We had games; Tennis, Egg Race, Sack Race e.t.c with the Rev, his wife, deacons, elders and all other agencies (fully decked in their sporting kits) participating.

We all left our pride and exalted positions and we interacted like kids, life couldn't have been sweeter.

The speaker (a man with a very poor background) dished out his wealth of experience with relevant scripture to back his words. He challenged every youth to tread the path of greatest resistance and dare for great heights.
It was a worthwhile experience. Indeed; "THERE IS HOPE FOR THE FUTURE" Jer 29:11

The harmattan is right here and this reduces moisture level. as such, snails tend to aestivate(hibernate) till the next rainy season begins next year. this implies hinderance to growth.

To prevent this, you have to regulate the moisture level in your snail farm. this can be done by wetting at intervals and adding more of big leaves such as cocoyam so they can hide underneath and feed too.

Do stay blessed.

In an effort to regulate the humidity level in your snail. pls do not turn it into a dump site. Snails catch diseases too.
