4. Can a snail reproduce?

Living environment: Like other snails, white jade snails like to live in a dark, humid, loose and humus-rich environment. They hide during the day and come out at night. They are afraid of light and heat, and are most afraid of direct sunlight. They are extremely sensitive to the environment. When the humidity and temperature are not suitable, the snail will retract its body into the shell and secrete mucus to form a protective film to seal the shell mouth to overcome the interference of the adverse environment. When the environment is suitable, the protective film will automatically dissolve and resume activities. Therefore, during the breeding process, attention should be paid to the influence of temperature and humidity. The suitable temperature is 16-30℃, humidity is 60%-85%, soil humidity is about 40%, and pH is 5-7. When the temperature is below 15℃ and above 35℃, it will hibernate and stop growing and reproducing. 2. The diet of white jade snails: Various green plants and bran can be used as food. Generally, it is fed with broad-leaved plants such as cabbage, green vegetables, and lettuce in spring; in summer, it can be fed with a large amount of sugarcane, sunflower leaves, and various melon and fruit peels; in autumn, the temperature is low and the appetite is reduced, so some vegetable leaves, potato chips, etc. can be fed. White jade snails do not eat grass or weeds, and refuse to eat onions, leeks, and garlic, which have pungent tastes. 3. Reproduction White jade snails are hermaphroditic and mate with different sexes. Artificial breeding can be carried out all year round as long as the temperature and humidity are suitable. It usually takes 6 months from hatching to sexual maturity. Eggs can be laid 15-20 days after mating and fertilization. The eggs are laid in caves. The eggs are the size of mung beans and are covered with a layer of shiny white membrane. Each time, 100-200 eggs are laid. The young snails can hatch in 8-15 days and their lifespan is generally 5-6 years. 4. Feeding and management (1) Feeding methods: According to the breeding site and equipment, they can be roughly divided into two types: outdoor open type and indoor closed type. For outdoor breeding, ditches can be dug or greenhouses can be built. If trench breeding is adopted, the trench should be built in a sunny place away from the wind, 50-70 cm deep, 2 meters wide, and the length should be determined according to the breeding quantity. The trench should be high on one side and low on the other side, with a slight slope. It should be covered with film and bamboo curtains to prevent escape and prevent harm from natural enemies such as frogs and birds. For indoor breeding, soil pots, plastic boxes, wooden boxes, cement pools, etc. can be used, and sand covers, wet cloths, films, etc. can be used to seal the openings to keep moisture and prevent rats. (2) Preparation of breeding soil: The breeding soil should be moist, loose, and fertile. Therefore, it is best to use uncontaminated farmland soil and yellow sand, and then add a small amount of stone powder to mix. After being exposed to the sun for 3-5 days, it should be disinfected and sieved for use. The soil ratio is: 30% fine soil, 30% sand, 20% yellow sand, 15% coal ash, and 5% stone powder. After adding water, the humidity is about 40%, that is, it can be lumped together with a hand and will fall apart with a blow. The soil thickness in the pot is divided into: 10 cm for adult snails, 7 cm for growing snails, and 3 cm for young snails. The breeding soil should be replaced once every 1-2 months. (3) Feeding method. Young snails should be fed some fresh and tender vegetable leaves and some concentrated feed. The temperature should not be lower than 20℃ and should be controlled at 25-30℃. Do not allow for excessive temperature changes. Do not spray water directly on young snails. Calcium-containing food should not be lacking in the feed. After 1 month, they are transferred to the adult snail breeding pot. The stocking density should be changed from dense to sparse as the individuals continue to grow. 400-500 snails are stocked per square meter, and 200-250 snails before harvesting. A 60×30×25 cm breeding box can hold 100 snails. After 5-6 months, they can be harvested when their shells are 4 cm high and weigh 40 grams.

5. Is it difficult to raise and breed white jade snails? Or are the breeders in the farms all fed with hormones? Will the eggs they lay float and then die?
