There is something missing there. If it is not added the wood will rot fast. Is soil sterilized? Do you have natural shade? But,good work to you. If you want more information on snail,grasscutter and rabbit farming, you can contact me at raymondhillnig@yahoo.com

To hatch snail eggs is basically the same, no matter the specie.

Get your hatchery and put like 5cm of Loamy soil inside. Dig a 2cm trench in the soil and place your eggs in it with a spacing of 3cm each. Cover the eggs with sand completely. If you can get plantain leaves, place it on top of the soil. If it's rainy season sprinkle water on the leaves once a week, but if it's dry season twice a week.

Your eggs will hatch from 22 to 35 days, with close to 95% hatch.

CHEERS.

It is God that gave me the wisdom and knowledge required to take care of these creatures. Without Him by my side, I for know nothing.

As a matter of fact, the farm is His am just taking care of it with His given wisdom.

Sir. Will the snails crawl out of the soil themselves after hatchery or is it in the farmers' place to dig them out?

Yes they'll crawl out on there own. But you have to check them within those period they're meant to hatch and make sure they don't eat other eggs not yet hatched.

Certainly, the few cases I've experienced is when the young ones are dying or dead. But if the matured ones are hungry they might end up eating smaller ones.
