The species of snailupon which I have worked on is the West African and largest specie that could be found in the world is the achatina specie. Achatina specie is a very rich kind of snail that can be found in the tropical part of the world.
The likes of example I can site of the area of the world where Achatina snail can be found are Nigeria, ivory cost, Ghana and many other countries in the world. ![220px-Giant_tiger_land_snail_%28Achatina_achatina%29.jpg][source]

The interesting part is that despite the fact that the Achatina specie is so easy to come across, an easy method of picking which is known as handpicking is used to gather this snail of best variety.
The next question that could arise is where exactly can this rich specie can be found. So easy, it is majorly said, the more you explore, the best you know. This snail are so easily gathered in bushes, wetlands especially during the raining period, plant stands like banana plants and somewhere cool like the cocoa farm.
Snails generally are nocturnal animals which are active during the night. So it's advisable that they are searched for during this their active moment.
You can startup the rearing with 50 pieces.
Suitable place for rearing of snail, snail need conducive area, the place must be moist, cool, and the rate of evaporation is not much.
Housing method, in Africa here we have different methods of farming snail, but the best method is rearing them inside truck tyres.
**PRODUCTION**: snail is a hermaphrodite in nature, they meet each other when is time for mating, after fertilisation they will produce eggs.
The number of their eggs varies, take the eggs away from them by using plastic spoon and take the eggs to hatchment station, for their offspring. The number of days they will use is 27 day before taking them to hatchment
