One of the many business ideas that I tested, farming snail :-)

Yep, this was something that I tested  in the summer. Would it be possible to make money, cultivating snails. Difficult as it turned out. Too much work, which meant that I laid down operations after about six months of testing.

You gotta try.. And know when it´s time to quit.

Here some pictures to prove it. Sounds mad right? I had them in an appartment!

Helix Pomata laying eggs.

Lots of eggs broiling

Calciumcarbonat - they eat this stuff, need it for the shell. But you have to grind it down first.

Hammering chalice for the snail shells



Lot of crap to clean every night.

Snail kids climbing on each other

When I decided to quit I put them out in nature, were I found them. Good luck.

Didnt eat a single one as a matter of fact, didnt have the heart for it.

Releasing them into the wild and free!
