There are several land snails that can be farmed and eaten. Examples are helix aspersa and helix pommatia, these are kept in Europe. Snail species that are suitable for tropical areas are the giant African snails, achatina fulica and achatina achatina (bodyweight between 80 and 250g) and the big black snail Archachatina marginata (bodyweight about 350g). Lower stocking rates produce larger snails in a shorter time but over stocking may result in infection and causes decrease in number of eggs produced, low weight gains and deaths due to build-up of slime on the ground.
For Giant African Land Snails (GALS), density stocks of about 100 juveniles or 30 pre-adult snails per square meter are recommended but if you want to breed them yourself, a lower population density of between 6-7 snails per square meter will be required. For the smaller European snails (e.g. Helix Aspersa), stocking densities of 25 snails per square meter for breeding.
For one to do the business right, one needs to learn valuable lessons on how to do the business successfully.
