What are the living habits of Baiyu snails? What are the natural enemies?

White jade snail, also known as African giant snail, Dongfeng snail, dew snail, brown cloud agate snail, vegetable snail and so on, is one of the larger terrestrial snails. White jade snails are generally active and foraging at night. They are not only one of the alien species in China, but also a pest that harms crops. Next, let's take a look at the life habits and natural enemies of Baiyu snails.

I. the living habits of Baiyu snails

White jade snail is a kind of species that can drill into the soil to rest, can absorb nutrients in the soil, such as calcium, organic matter and so on. In addition, drilling can also regulate the temperature, moisture and humidity of the body, avoid enemy attacks and lay eggs. White jade snails usually come out at night because they are very afraid of the sun, especially when the sun shines directly, it is very sensitive. So, how can the white jade snail see it at night? Even in low light, the visibility can reach six or seven centimeters, while in strong light, it is only one centimeter. This is one of the reasons why I only go out at night.

White jade snails like humid environment, especially in muggy night, their activity is more exuberant, because the temperature and humidity at this time are very suitable for them.

As an omnivorous white jade snail, it usually eats green plants, especially juicy leafy vegetables, melons and fruits, plant leaves and so on. If they are very hungry and have no food, they may even kill each other and eat the same kind of food. White jade snails do not like very irritating food, that is to say, salty food they dare not approach.

The vitality of Baiyu snails is so strong that they can survive for two months without water or food, and some of them can eat cement, which is really terrible.

Second, what are the natural enemies of Baiyu snails?

Any living creature has natural enemies, so what are the natural enemies of white jade snails? The natural enemies of wild white jade snails are mainly rats, snakes, birds, centipedes, ants, mites and so on, and the natural enemies of farmed white jade snails are ants, ticks and mice.

1. Ants

I believe everyone is familiar with ants, it is a kind of arthropods, there are many species, but their lifespan is very long, some can live for several years to decades. We can see that ants are actually very intelligent creatures, especially in the transportation of food, working together in groups. If the ants gather in the snail's snail, they will bite the software of the white jade snail. The adult white jade snail is fine, but the young white jade snail has poor resistance and will slowly become sick and die.

2. Tick

Ticks, also known as gall mites, usually gather on the snail's shells and software, causing it to slowly lose weight and then die.

3. Mice

Rats are a kind of creature we hate very much. They have goose bumps all over the place because they are also carriers of bacteria and like to go to garbage cans, food, cabinets and other environments. Mice will directly swallow white jade snails.
