The talisman will not solve your professional problems, but it will help you get into a philosophical mood, which will definitely save a fair amount of nerve cells.
Therefore, put a watch on your desk, regularly look at the dial and remember the saying engraved on King Solomon’s ring: “Everything passes. This too shall pass.” You'll see - you'll feel better! And then, lo and behold, things will get better!
What do snails contain?
To set up a coop, they use terrariums and aquariums, plexiglass aquariums, as well as all kinds of houses for keeping rodents. Even food containers and other plastic containers can be used. One adult snail requires at least 10 liters of volume, but if you want to raise your pet to the maximum possible size, then it is better to provide it with 15-20 liters of volume.
The lid of the snail should cover it with noticeable density in order to maintain the necessary humidity inside the room and to prevent the snail from leaving its native land. To allow air to penetrate into the room, several small holes should be made in the lid. The most effective type of terrarium is horizontal, although some tree snails prefer vertical terrariums.
The terrarium should be cleaned regularly. Excrement must be removed, and the lid and walls of the terrarium should be wiped with a damp sponge as the walls become dirty. About every month and a half, the terrarium needs to be thoroughly cleaned, thoroughly washing the terrarium itself with laundry soap and completely changing the soil.

In Egypt and Babylon, snails were considered a symbol of eternity and fertility.
In medieval Europe they seemed to be the embodiment of sin and laziness, because they were born from dirt and feed on it, and later in the age of Protestantism they became an expression of modesty (I carry everything I own with me).
In Islam it is a symbol of doubt.
And for Buddhists, a snail shell is time frozen on the body of a living being, and the snail itself is patience personified.”
There are many signs and fortune telling associated with snails.
If a snail crawls across the road you are walking on, then in some places it means rain, in others it means bad luck.
If a snail crawls into the house, it means increased wealth in the family. That is why snails are painted on the threshold of a house or apartment.
The first snail seen after leaving the house is supposed to sing
mother by one of her horns and thrown over her left shoulder. Then the business you are pursuing will work out. But if you throw a snail over your right shoulder, something bad will happen.
To find out your future spouse, you need to close the snail in a plate.
The next morning, the initials of the future lover will be written on the bottom of the mucus.
In another love fortune-telling, two small leaves picked from any tree are placed in front of the snail. If a snail crawls onto a leaf, bright prospects await you. If you hide under it, your desire to achieve your partner’s favor is currently impossible!
With the help of snails they also guess about their own well-being in the near future.
Find a snail after the rain, bring it home and place it on a damp surface. Prepare three small white pieces of paper. On one, write the dollar or euro symbol, on the other, the ruble, and on the third, the word “water.”
Place these pieces of paper in front of the snail at a distance of 10-15 cm from it. If the snail likes the dollar bill better, you're in luck. Great financial success awaits you in the future.
If a snail chooses a “ruble” leaf, this means that your well-being will fluctuate: it can be both thick and empty.
Well, the third piece of paper, if the snail chooses it, promises you lack of money, bread and water in the near future.
Snails have long been endowed with the ability to cure various ailments and are still used in magical remedies.
One of the well-known ways to remove warts is to stroke them with a snail, then pierce it with a needle and leave it on a tree trunk. When it dies, the warts will also disappear. In some places it was considered necessary, after pricking a snail, to drive as many nails into the tree trunk as there were warts.
In the past, by the way, the liquid released when the cochlea was punctured was dripped into the ears when they hurt.
When treating whooping cough, the gypsies put the snail on a piece of sugar, and when it was completely covered with mucus, they gave it to the patient to eat.
Another remedy for the same disease was porridge prepared from crushed snails and finely chopped mouse carcass.
For a normal cough, the child was prescribed two or three snails boiled in oatmeal broth or tea.
At a time when fever was common, they tried to prevent it by wearing a snail in a pouch around the neck for nine days, after which they threw it into the fire. “The snail will shake as if from a fever,” the healers claimed, “and from that moment the person will stop having a fever.”
A compress of snails taken from their shells and crushed is said to cure gout.
The mucus left by snails was considered a remedy against tuberculosis, and two hundred years ago doctors prescribed it to their patients.
The snails were taken out of their shells, parsley, sugar, and spring water were added and then taken daily with red cow milk. To all of the above, crushed earthworms were added.
A more radical remedy for tuberculosis was to collect small white snails while the dew was still wet and swallow them alive so that they would eat the mucus from the lungs, which was believed to cause the disease.
In some places, even today, in the treatment of chest diseases, they swallow a live snail in the evenings for nine days. If recovery does not occur immediately, the course is repeated up to four to five times as necessary. People believe that the snails continue to live in the stomach for a while, secreting mucus that heals irritated lungs.
Seeing a crawling snail in a dream means an unhealthy and unfavorable environment.
If you step on a snail, you will have to come into contact with unpleasant people.
Just seeing a snail in a dream will require some effort from you, which you will direct to solving the most pressing issue.

What humidity is needed to keep snails?
The bulk of domesticated snails belong to land species. However, even they cannot survive for a long time without water. To maintain the required humidity in the coop, you can use a spray bottle to spray the flowers. All you need to do is spray the terrarium and its inhabitants with it a couple of times a day. This will be enough to maintain the desired humidity level, which should ideally be around 75-90%.
It is best to spray with warm water. If possible, you should purchase a hygrometer that can be used to measure air humidity. If the humidity in the coop is insufficient, this can also lead to the pet going into hibernation.
If the snails are more than one and a half months old, they will need to put water in some kind of bowl from which they will drink and in which they will bathe. As for kids, the moisture that accumulates on the walls of the terrarium is enough for them to do this. It should be remembered that the size of the pool must match the size of the snail so that it does not drown while swimming. It is also necessary to ensure that the snail does not overturn its “pool”, otherwise the soil will become waterlogged.
A similar sign
There is an old and well-tested sign: if a snail enters a house, then soon its inhabitants will experience an increase in prosperity. I can’t say exactly how she does it, apparently there are secrets that she doesn’t want to share for obvious reasons, but the trick works. Do you have any doubts?
Well, you can check. To do this, first of all, we need a snail, preferably a Grape snail, firstly, it is large, which, you see, is very important when it comes to well-being, and secondly, the Grape snail lives for a very long time, it can last, just think about it, up to twenty years . And there were those who set a record - thirty years! Incredible, but it is a recorded fact.
Can you imagine how much stuff she can carry during this time, even if her retirement period is excluded from this period, although the Wildlife Protection Society does not insist on this, but we are not animals, we understand how hard it is to work in old age, and therefore we give the snail its eighteen years of work experience.
And so, a suitable snail has been found, it is young and outwardly healthy. True, it is difficult to say definitely who it is - she or he; snails are quite liberal in matters of gender. However, these are their personal matters, they do not concern us, what is important to us is her or his performance.
Further, as a catalyst for the experiment to accelerate, given the low mobility of snails, it is necessary to invest material resources in it; we chose a coin. They put the money next to her and began to wait. At first, the snail did not pay any attention to the offering, crawling around and around, breathing measuredly, one breath per minute, with its pneumostomy. This is her respiratory organ. However, soon the frequency of respiratory processes increased, and the snail finally crawled to the coin. It took her some more time to determine the denomination and country of minting; apparently, the snail does not take every currency to heart.
We were lucky, the snail and the coin turned out to be of the same nationality, both come from the Czech Republic, which is very important, given the stable exchange rate of the local crown and the sufficient fatness of the local gastropods, which we had the opportunity to verify on several occasions, both in the bank and in nature.
For some time we still had hope that our snail was simply looking for a companion in the difficult work of transporting treasures, but further observations destroyed the illusion. It turned out that there was a completely different interest here that had nothing to do with money. And on the basis of this another popular saying arose: With the darling there is heaven in the hut.
Alas, the enrichment experiment failed, love intervened, and, as you know, love does not sell.
But we still left the coin, it will be useful to the snails, they will remember us - good, no, then they will keep it for themselves, their house will become rich. In any case, the sign works.
Sign - a hornet in the house
In the villages, the appearance and flight of furry giants was monitored very closely:
- if hornets circled over a field, they promised a rich harvest;
- flew into a barn or chicken coop - they promised a notable offspring;
- hovered over the head of a particular person - hinted at the successful implementation of some important plans;
- found themselves inside the home - they brought luck and prosperity on their wings.
An insect hits the window
Sometimes the furry messenger is in such a hurry to convey the message of the Higher Powers that he loses all caution. Apparently he has some really urgent news! A person living in a house should remember his deferred plans and innermost dreams. With all its behavior, the hornet wants to say that the favorable moment has come for decisive action. It's time to break away from the TV and soft sofa to implement your plans.
Hornet on the balcony
If the hornet simply flew onto the balcony, circled and went about its business, the sign promises success and wealth. A completely different forecast in the case when a family of buzzing giants took a fancy to part of the house and decided to settle down for a long time.
The most neutral omen concerns the weather. If for some unknown reason the hornets decided to “capture” a balcony in a residential building, ignoring their usual places of residence, summer promises to be cold and rainy.
If a hornet flew into the room
An end to financial difficulties
The sudden appearance of this insect is a sign that financial difficulties and other troubles are coming to an end. It is clear that wealth and happiness will not fall on your head by itself, you will have to work hard. But do not doubt that Fate will appreciate the efforts made and reward them in full.
Don't waste your energy
However, there is another sign: if a hornet has flown into the window and persistently circles around the room, he advises people to fuss less and not waste their energy in vain. There is a possibility that the owner of the home is overly assertive, aggressive, ready to go towards his goal, regardless of other people’s feelings. And such behavior can turn away luck.
A hornet flying into a house can bring prosperity on its wings. However, this sign will come true only if no one offends or scares the insect. There is a special ritual to attract wealth: when you see a hornet in a room, open the window, put a couple of coins on it and leave the room for a few minutes. When you return, make sure that the guest has flown away, close the frames, and put the “charged” coins in the treasured piggy bank for good luck.
Soil for keeping snails
The best soil for keeping snails is fine-grained coconut substrate. Before adding soil to the terrarium, it must be processed. To do this, you need to either heat it in the oven or microwave for a few minutes or pour boiling water over it. With this, the larvae of fruit flies and other insects will be destroyed. In addition, this reduces the amount of salt in the soil. Whatever soil is chosen, it should be loose - this will allow snails to burrow into it with ease.
It is not recommended to place stones in the terrarium, since snails sometimes fall from the lid of the terrarium and can break their shell on the stone. Electric lighting, which is so necessary for fish, is completely unnecessary for snails. Thanks to this, you can choose a suitable place in the apartment for the coop without any hassle.
