CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What are the dangers of raising snails at home? (Are there any dangers of raising snails at home?)

1. I want to raise the snails I picked up on campus, but my father won’t let me, saying they may have parasites. Is it okay to raise wild snails?

It is recommended not to keep it.

Snails do have parasites, but they are internal parasites and are not likely to pose a threat. However, the mucus left by the snail as it crawls is slightly toxic. Moreover, they are wild snails and you don't know where they have crawled. Even if the parasites are not a threat, they will still have pathogens. It is recommended not to raise them. If you need to, you can ask your parents and buy regular farmed snails online.

2. Is it good or bad to have snails at home?

It is not good, because snails like to live in dark and humid places and like to eat all kinds of rotten food. If there are snails in your home, it means there is no sunlight, the humidity is relatively heavy, and there is a musty smell in your home.

3. Are snails poisonous if kept indoors?

Snails are not poisonous if kept at home and not eaten.

4. What are the harms of having snails in a planted tank?

Hello, actually there is no harm, it’s just that some snails reproduce too fast, which affects the appearance, so many people will deliberately control the number.

Answer: When snails gnaw on seedlings, they secrete mucus that contaminates the young grass, hindering the growth of seedlings, and even biting off the seedlings, resulting in missing seedlings and broken ridges. For prevention and control, quicklime and salt can be used. Salt was used more in the early days, especially for killing yellow slugs in the home. It is non-toxic and has no side effects. Ammonia water can also be used. Most of these drugs are highly volatile ammonia compounds. Low concentrations of ammonia water can inhibit the harm of snails.

1. The harm of raising snails

1. Snails generally only eat leaf flesh. When they grow up a little, they can use their radula to lick the young leaves into small holes or bite off the petioles. When snails gnaw on seedlings, they will secrete some mucus to contaminate the young grass, hinder the growth of seedlings, and even bite off the seedlings, resulting in missing seedlings and broken ridges. The wounds caused by snails eating leaves can easily induce soft rot, Fusarium wilt and other diseases in crops, causing the leaves or seedlings to rot and die. If snails damage crops on a large scale, the crop yield can be reduced by more than 40%.

5. Is it dangerous to raise snails at home?

There is nothing dangerous about raising snails, but there are risks. As long as the snails don't get sick, you can make money.

6. What are the pros and cons of raising snails?

Advantages: Snail farming is profitable and has low labor intensity. It can be farmed professionally or as an amateur, and is very suitable for family farming.

Disadvantages: Snails are omnivorous animals. They mainly feed on decaying plants when they are young, but they mainly feed on green plants when they are adults. They harm the roots, stems, leaves, and fruits of various plants, especially the tender leaves of plants. After the leaves of garden plants are eaten by snails, a large number of holes are formed, which causes the photosynthesis to decrease and creates favorable conditions for the infection of pathogens. In addition, the excrement and mucus secreted during the chewing process contaminate the plants, seriously affecting the ornamental quality of garden plants.

7. Are there any taboos in keeping snails at home?

1. There is nothing wrong with keeping snails at home. Snail is not the name of a biological classification. It generally refers to all kinds of animals in the family of giant snails, and in a broad sense also includes some animals in other families of the gastropod class (including slugs, etc.).

2. Snails living in cold areas will hibernate, and those living in tropical areas will also hibernate during the dry season. The mucus secreted during hibernation forms a layer of dry film to seal the shell opening, and the whole body is hidden in the shell. They will come out and move around when the temperature and humidity are right.

3. 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 most afraid of direct sunlight and are sensitive to the environment. The most suitable environment for snails is: temperature 16-30℃ (growth and development are fastest at 23-30℃); air humidity 60%-90%; breeding soil humidity about 40%; pH 5-7.

8. Is there any harm in raising snails?

have

Snails are generally non-toxic, but they contain a large number of parasites. If you are not careful, frequent close contact with them is likely to cause infection, thus bringing unnecessary risks. In addition, snails are soft-bodied animals, look very weak, and are not directly harmful to humans. However, some snails have a particularly bad smell, so it is likely that there will be a strange smell when you raise them at home.

9. What are the harms of snails in flower pots?

Snails in flower pots are harmful to the growth of plants. These animals feed on leaves, buds and tender stems, and leave mucus where they crawl, which contaminates the leaves of the plants and seriously harms their health.

Usually, after discovering it, it is necessary to catch it in time. You can sprinkle some quicklime when the soil is dry, which can also be effective in prevention. However, it must be removed in time the next day and no watering should be done in the short term.

10. What harm does keeping pet snails do to the human body?

Some pet snails have parasites in their bodies, so they cannot be said to be harmless. Introduction to pets: In the past, pets only referred to animals that people kept to eliminate loneliness or for entertainment purposes. Today, pets are defined as animals and plants that are kept for non-economic purposes. Pets are animals and plants that are kept for spiritual purposes. Generally, they are kept to eliminate loneliness or for entertainment. In the past, pets were generally mammals or birds, because these animals have more developed brains and can easily communicate with people. Nowadays, in addition to the well-known live pets, there are also many virtual pets. Introduction to snails:
