When to harvest your snails

199. If your snails have grown well, some of them will be big enough to harvest about one year after you have first put snails in the pen.

200. If you need any snails to put in another pen, collect them first. So, choose the right number (see Items 193 to 198 in this booklet) of the biggest and best snails.

201. Carefully put these snails into a container so that you can carry them to the other pen without hurting them.

202. Now you are ready to harvest the rest of your biggest snails. Remember, the best way to harvest is a few snails at a time when you want some to eat or to sell at the market.

203. However, harvest all of the snails by the end of the second year so that you can plant the pen in time for the next growing season.
