The living habits of snails

Snails like to live in a dark, humid, loose and humus-rich environment, lying during the day and coming out at night. They are most afraid of direct sunlight and sensitive to environmental reactions. Their most suitable environment: temperature16 ~ 30℃ (the fastest growth is at 23 ~ 30℃); Air humidity 60% ~ 90%; The humidity of the feeding soil is about 40%; The pH value is 5 ~ 7.

When the temperature is lower than 15℃, it will hibernate when it is higher than 33℃, and it may freeze or heat to death when it is lower than 5℃ or higher than 40℃. But all kinds of snails are different.

Snails like to burrow into loose humus soil to inhabit, lay eggs, adjust the humidity in their bodies and absorb some nutrients for as long as 12 hours. Omnivorous food and partial eclipse coexist.

Love humidity, fear flooding. Snails have a good appetite when they eat wet food on wet nights. But floods will suffocate snails. Self-sufficiency. As soon as the little snail hatches, it crawls to eat without mother's care.

When invaded by the enemy, its head and feet retract into the shell, secreting mucus to seal the mouth of the shell; When the shell fails, it can secrete some substances to repair the body shell.

Have great patience. Snails have amazing viability and strong cold, heat, hunger and drought tolerance. For example, constant temperature farming.

The temperature is constant between 25 ~ 28℃, and the growth, development and reproduction are vigorous. When a snail crawls, it leaves a line of mucus on the ground, which is a liquid secreted by it. Even if it walks on the blade, there will be no danger.

Extended data:

Snails have high edible and medicinal value.

It is nutritious, delicious, high in protein, low in fat and cholesterol, rich in more than 20 kinds of amino acids, and rich in snail enzyme and SOD. The content of protein is higher than that of soft-shelled turtle, pork, beef and eggs 1,1,3 and 7 percentage points respectively, while the fat content is only higher than that of soft-shelled turtle, pork, beef and eggs. The selenium content per gram of snail meat is 0.45 micrograms, which is 4.5 times that of tea.

Snail is a kind of terrestrial mollusk, which has high edible, medicinal and health care values. Its edible and medicinal history has been more than 2000 years.

According to the determination, every 500g of snail meat contains 90g of protein and various nutrients needed by human body, such as amino acids, vitamins, calcium, iron, copper and phosphorus. It is a food with high protein and low fat.

Snails are cold and salty. It has the effects of clearing away heat, relieving swelling, detoxicating, promoting diuresis, relieving asthma and softening hard mass. The contained enzymes can eliminate stagnation, while glutamic acid and aspartic acid can enhance the vitality of human brain cells. Scientists believe that eating more snails has nutritional and cosmetic effects on skin and hair.
