The habits of snails:

Snails like to live in a dark and damp, loose and humic environment, nocturnal, most afraid of direct sunlight, sensitive to the environment, most suitable for the environment: temperature 16 30 (23 30 times, the fastest growth and development); Air humidity 60% 90%; The humidity of the feeding soil is about 40%; The pH is 5 7.

Snails sleep when the temperature is below 15 and above 33, and below 5 or above 40, they may freeze to death or heat death. But the various types of snails are different.

Features of snails:

2. When the snail finds food, it secretes an acidic saliva equivalent to 4% sulfuric acid solution to soften the outside of the food, and then tears the food little by little with a toothy tongue and eats it. Therefore, while snails have a hard shell for protection, their saliva and teeth are the most powerful attack**.

1. Snails have the following habits:

1.Habits:Like to burrow into loose humus soil to inhabit, spawn, regulate the humidity in the body and absorb part of the nutrients, day and night, most afraid of direct sunlight, sensitive to environmental reaction, like moisture and afraid of flooding, has amazing survival ability, has a strong tolerance to cold, heat, hunger, drought.

1.Edible value:Snails are nutritious, delicious, high protein, low fat, low cholesterol, rich in more than 20 kinds of amino acids and rich in snail enzymes, SOD, etc., is a high-protein, low-fat food.

2.Medicinal Value:Snails are cold and salty. It has the functions of clearing heat, reducing swelling, detoxifying, diuretic, relieving asthma, and softening and firmness. The enzymes contained in it can eliminate stagnation, and glutamic acid and aspartic acid can enhance the vitality of human brain cells.
