Snails...again

[Kaizen]

Well, my first baby snails have reached edible size. My method was to separate the eggs from the adults’ bin and incubate them separately. I’m choosing to feed them to my male veiled who just had a clean fecal (yes, I know a single fecal won’t account for intermittent egg laying parasites...sue me). I will be monitoring his faeces for parasites. This will prove nothing, but will be a data point.

Awesome!!! I will follow this thread out of curiosity breeding out parasite loads in snails or if they are passed down from generation to generation. Great work.

My money is on that he'll be fine! My chams diet is about 50% wild insects during the summer. I know brody does even more than that.

Escargot drowning in melted garlic butter?! I'm down!

I've been wanting to start up some snails for variety (and I just like snails). I'll be watching!

Are they French or from Louisiana? I know they are prepared as a delicacy but i would rather eat live dubias and meal worms lol

I always knew them as French, but my in laws are croatian and have them. They also serve tripe and other fun things lol.

 

[JacksJill]

I've had escargot. It could have been pencil erasers in garlic and butter for all I know. The butter and garlic were good of course.

Why?!?! Escargot is delicious! Just make sure to purge them before you cook'em!

 

[JackRipper]

I Don't eat anything you have to purge first blaaa.. haha
