Snail house according to Feng Shui. Snail - as a symbol in the human picture of the world

Every year the number of exotic animals in city apartments is increasing. And if in the past they mostly kept cats and dogs, now when you come to visit you can increasingly see not a dormant mug, but a spider, lizard or snake.

In addition to them, snails quite often become pets. In most cases, these are huge snails from Africa - Achatina. The most popular are Marginata Suturalis, Arhahatina, Arhahatina Marginata Ovum, Achatina Reticulata and Achatina Fulica.

It must be said that snails have attracted human attention since ancient times. For example, in Ancient Greece, snails were used as a cure for diseases.

The Phoenicians used red snails to obtain red dye, which they used to dye their fabrics. As for South America and Africa, large snail shells were used there as a unit of exchange, replacing money. In addition, since most snails have a spiral-wrapped shell, they were highly revered by some peoples, as the spiral was believed to be a symbol of life.

Despite the fact that gastropods are rather shy in their behavior, they are domesticated and tamed quite quickly. The most tame are Achatina Reticulata, which not only quickly get used to hands, but even allow themselves to be stroked. But there are also species that are so shy that, even when born in captivity, they never get used to being handled.

Snails live in small groups. When it gets cooler at night, they slowly go in search of food. They search for her only by touch, using their tentacle-horns for this purpose. Snails have poor vision, so all they can distinguish is light from darkness and day from night. But their sense of smell is very well developed. In any case, representatives of certain species can smell food located at a distance of several meters. They are completely unpretentious in food and can eat leaves, worms and even small larvae of other forest inhabitants.

Snails owe their popularity among people to the fact that they do not create any noise, and if everything is in order with their health, then they also do not shed, do not smell, and do not create any special troubles in their maintenance.

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.

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 terrarium lid and can break their shells 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.

What temperature is needed to keep snails?

Without exception, all snails require a humid and fairly warm microclimate. Ideally, the temperature for their maintenance should be within 25-30 degrees. If the ambient temperature drops too low, the snails will react with a decrease in appetite and decreased activity. They can even hibernate, and this always indicates that the living conditions of the gastropods are disturbed.

When a snail goes into hibernation, it closes the entrance to the shell with a “door” and it will be very difficult to bring it out of hibernation. In order for the snail to wake up, it will have to be “bathed” in warm water until it decides to look out of its house. Therefore, if the room where the coop is located is quite cool, it would be wise to provide it with heating using a thermal mat or a regular incandescent light bulb. However, it is worth considering that if the light bulb is close to the cochlea, the snail leaning against its wall may get burned.

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.

How to feed snails

Feeding snails is not difficult. The main source of nutrition is plant foods. The most important thing to remember is the basic rule of feeding snails: under no circumstances should they be given food containing salt, since it poses a mortal danger to snails. Flour products can also lead to approximately the same result. It is not recommended to give sweet and fried foods.

For feeding, a plastic food tray with low edges can be placed in the coop. This will prevent you from putting food directly on the ground, where it quickly becomes unusable.

Snails with great pleasure eat apples, zucchini, cucumbers, lettuce, and can even eat dry Hercules cereal or fish food such as daphnia or gammarus. Most likely, they will not refuse treats in the form of watermelon or strawberries. Bananas are very popular among large snails, but such treats should be given very carefully, since the snail can become spoiled and then become capricious, refusing any other food. In winter, snails eat well not only rolled oats, but also pharmaceutical nettles and even frozen vegetables included in soup sets, which can be purchased at any supermarket.

At least once every 1.5 - 3 months the terrarium needs to be washed, replacing the substrate in it.

As snails get older, their shells also increase in size. In addition, the shells become thicker, stronger, harder and, in addition, characteristic coil rings appear on them. The increase in the size of the snail stops only after the pet turns one year old. By the time they reach this age, their shells will already have four to seven rings adorning them. The average lifespan of a captive gastropod is about six years.

It must be said that in order for the snail not only to grow, but to grow with a beautiful shell, it is necessary to add a source of calcium to its food. For this purpose, you can purchase white sepia in the store, for example, one sold under the brand name “Kesha” or “Vitacraft” (they are also called cuttlefish bone or cuttlefish comb).

In addition, you can use natural chalk or ground eggshells. If the snail gets too much calcium, its shell may even become translucent and the snail’s body can be seen through it. Well, if a pet starts gnawing on its own shell (or, alternatively, the shell of its neighbor), it means that the lack of calcium in its diet has reached a monstrously low level.

It must be said that snails such as Achatina love swimming. You should not bathe snails under the tap, since the chlorine contained in the water has a very bad effect on the shell and can lead to the formation of a white coating. You can bathe your pet in filtered or warm boiled water.

Snails are an excellent and accessible object for observing animals at home. This is another reason for their popularity. They are not nearly as primitive as many people think. Although the nervous system of gastropods is quite simple, they are nevertheless capable of learning. Scientists have conducted successful experiments with sea mollusks, grape snails and land slugs, trying to develop conditioned reflexes of various types in them.

Grape snails even managed to fly into space, and in Great Britain, grape snails are used for a kind of national entertainment, organizing snail races. During this process, snails crawl along the trail left by the lettuce leaf. Moreover, each does not leave the confines of her treadmill and “runs” parallel to the “run” of the other gastropod runner. And the fastest of them gets the coveted salad leaf.

Contrary to prejudice, you can communicate with snails. If you put her in your palm, she may be scared at first, but when she later realizes that there is no danger, she will stick her head out and begin to crawl along your hand, exploring the surrounding space. The sensations from her touch are very pleasant and give pleasure. And Achatina are also very smart and can distinguish their owner by thermal sensations and smell.

If the snails are kept clean and in order, then excellent growth and good health will be guaranteed to them, as well as their owner will be guaranteed an excellent mood, which he will receive while contemplating his pets.

Sometimes a snail person is able to turn away from loved ones if he considers that they do not deserve attention. If a snail feels that it might be offended, it will hide in its shell, occasionally peeking out to assess its surroundings. People are snails who are good and responsive interlocutors, who know how to listen and speak in a timely manner, are very smart, although they are not mercantile and do not use their minds for their own enrichment.

It is a symbol of perseverance, caution, and forethought.

In Christianity it has a double meaning. Firstly, it signifies sin and laziness, since it is believed that she is born, lives and dies in dirt. Secondly, it represents Christ, since he can seal the shell and “resurrect” through time.

Slowly, crawl slowly
Little snail,
To the very top of Fuji.

Matsuo Basho
17th centuries Japan.

“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 with me.”) In Islam it is a symbol doubts. And for Buddhists, a snail shell is time frozen on the body of a living being, and the snail itself is the personification of patience."

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 be caught by one of its horns and thrown over the 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!

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.

Another way is to pierce the snail and lubricate the wart with whatever comes out of the puncture. Then the snail must be buried along with a needle or ordinary thorn sticking out of it.

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 doctors 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.

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.

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 means that you will need some effort, which you will direct to solving the most pressing issue.

The element of our planet Earth is associated in the Chinese tradition with stability and confidence in all directions of life.

According to Feng Shui, land animals are distinguished by their extraordinary strength of will and spirit, so even a simple small snail will become a symbol with enormous potential in your home.

True, such talismans should be selected taking into account the personal characteristics of the owner, and not only on the basis of general Feng Shui recommendations.

Tiger in Feng Shui

One of the oldest manifestations of courage and strength is the tiger, which, as a rule, is white in color according to Feng Shui. This animal is one of the four main defenders of the home. It is no coincidence that the most famous feng shui painting of a tiger in China shows a predator guarding a house.

Tigers also act as good luck talismans when placed above the front door on New Year's Eve. Then the whole family is provided with his patronage. In addition, some Chinese provinces believe that the tiger in Feng Shui has significance for the birth of healthy children and a successful marriage.

Today the following types of talismans are distinguished:

• The dozing tiger is one of the most balanced symbols, so it is ideal for overly emotional and energetic people. Such a talisman looks appropriate in a small apartment.
• An animal sitting on a handful of coins represents a successful business. It can be placed in the career zone to acquire a new position or in the wealth sector to increase your wealth.
• A predator with an open mouth and bared fangs helps add status. It enhances the leader’s energy and helps protect against evil forces. Keeping this figurine is allowed only if there is a dragon talisman in the house.
• A Feng Shui painting of a tiger can be on a fabric basis and imply only the head of the predator. A similar talisman in China is hung on gates. It is also allowed to use paper images as curtains, and Feng Shui also allows images of a tiger to be used as a basis for creating toys and bedding.

When choosing a tiger figurine, you need to be sure that there are no people in the house born under the signs of the Rooster, Rabbit or Boar according to the eastern horoscope. Otherwise, the risk of premature death of such family members increases.

Please note that any of the directions of light in the apartment will correspond to a specific animal (you can read in our magazine). For the white predator this is the northeast. According to Feng Shui, the tiger zone for a water rat, for example, is not very favorable, but for dragons it is not prohibited.

Spider in Feng Shui

In Feng Shui, the spider is the constant meaning of creative energy. The spiral web in this case personifies the entire process of the universe. In a large-scale sense, the Spinner represents the creator of the planet, forming the web of time. In addition, according to ancient legends, spiders are identified with the feminine principle.

Interestingly, Feng Shui gives the spider a divine and cosmic meaning due to the structure of this creature. The eight legs act as the sum of the winds of change and the cardinal directions. Therefore he is identified with the wheel of life. If you choose a spider as a totemic protector, it will always warn you of danger and, conversely, congratulate you on the results of smart decisions.

A sign of approaching happiness in China is a descending spider. What is the symbol of Feng Shui in this case, this eternal worker? Of course, family luck and prosperity in all areas. Such a talisman is also necessary for individual use if a person wants to look into the depths of himself and learn to control his emotions.

The spider symbol will help you become far-sighted and do only the right things. You can also keep a small spider talisman made of expensive materials in your wallet to attract money and preserve your accumulated savings.

Among Chinese mascots, few animals are honored and respected for their slowness in helping humans. The snail is a feng shui symbol associated with extraordinary calm and tranquility. This talisman increases financial income and helps achieve goals, albeit not too quickly, but confidently.

Trying to evenly divide the energy of well-being and prosperity in the house, you should definitely find its place for the figurine with a snail. She guarantees success in achieving business goals in the Career zone, and the wealth sector will exist under her protection if necessary to save up the required amount. Surround the snail with elements from the element of Water, and it will respond to you with goodwill.

In addition, you can buy a living creature and plant it in a beautiful and spacious aquarium. For overall harmony in life, you can purchase paintings, wallpaper and even a bed with snails.

For the bedroom, in turn, a sculpture of two snails in love is suitable.

Dragonfly in feng shui

It is interesting that even within the framework of one Eastern tradition, dragonflies are perceived ambiguously. In Japan, for example, it is an expression of courage and victory, an image of luck and bravery. At the same time, among the Japanese there is a growing attitude towards the dragonfly as an irresponsible creature.

In China, the dragonfly became the concentration of grace and lightness. What is the feng shui symbol of this weak insect? To begin with, this is a sign of the onset of summer, which means the arrival of warmth and sun. Joyful flying dragonflies fit perfectly into a child's room, a creative workshop, or even a bedroom. But the wealth and career sectors, where carefree and playfulness are not virtues, will do just fine without this talisman.

Dragonflies are also a sign indicating the salvation of our souls, the personification of rebirth and immortality. They are great at restoring old feelings, so for couples who have been married for many years, this is an excellent symbol. But even for single girls, this is an effective talisman that adds beauty and grace.

You should use this image to activate your love zone only if you are completely ready for change. Even a small picture of a dragonfly makes relationships easy and also brings changes in the sexual sphere.

Ladybug in feng shui

An expression of extraordinary luck is the ladybug according to Feng Shui. The significance of this tiny creature is very great, because it transforms all negative energy and cleanses the house. It must be taken into account that the strength of the talisman and its specific focus depend on the number of spots on the ladybug’s back.

• One dot characterizes the symbol as an assistant in a new business, including business, family, and profession. Such a talisman is appropriate in a study or office, on a desktop.
• A ladybug with two spots is necessary for harmonizing relationships with the outside world. It gives inner peace, good dreams, self-confidence, and also destroys fears and misanthropy. To become a kind and positive person, you should keep the talisman in the bedroom: on the dressing table, bedside table or near the head of the bed.
• The trinity of spots on the back makes the insect a protector from wrong actions and rash decisions. This talisman is quite appropriate at work, but you don’t need to keep it on the table; it’s better to put it on the windowsill.
• The ladybug's four spots are responsible for protecting the house from theft and robbery. Store the figurine in the hallway, but away from prying eyes.
• A string of five dots symbolizes a creative talisman. But one spot more means the development of learning abilities. Such a ladybug should be placed on the school table, in the office or living room.
• Ladybug with 7 points helps to achieve success in your personal life. Such a talisman only works for one owner, so it should be kept in his favorite room (even in the bathroom).

The butterfly symbol in Feng Shui is associated with sincere joy and love. This insect perfectly helps lonely people meet a loved one, but such a talisman is useful in family relationships. For long-time partners, butterflies bring passion and romance, helping them forget about the routine of their days.

Feng Shui butterflies are used to activate the love sector only in pairs. You can also hang a picture with a whole group of butterflies, but one image will not add any benefit to the marriage. The ideal location for a butterfly in the bedroom is the ceiling above the bed. Placing the talisman in the southwest also helps improve communication with everyone you know in general.

What do butterflies mean according to Feng Shui for most Chinese people? This is the immortality of the soul and real rebirth. Therefore, there is so much divine and supernatural in the appearance of this insect.

In the Chinese tradition, talismans with butterflies are usually divided according to colors, shapes and materials.

• Many people are interested in knowing what the feng shui butterfly symbolizes in a wind chime composition. In this case, we are talking about family happiness, and if the insects are made of metal, we are talking about success in personal life and the fire of passion. Such a talisman should be placed only on the southwest side of the house.
• According to Feng Shui, a silver or gold butterfly has a more sacred meaning. This symbol fulfills personal desires in love and family, while brooches of this type make girls very confident.
• A ceramic multi-colored butterfly brings a festive mood and positive changes to life. What is the symbol of what in Feng Shui is a wooden butterfly? This is the harmony of spouses and general well-being.

Please note that dead butterflies on needles are bad feng shui with the energy of death. Such an item in a home or office leads to a deterioration in all relationships of the owner. Also, you should not place sculptures near the windowsill and attach butterflies to the curtains: love and joy will definitely fly out into the street.

But feng shui butterflies in the workplace are a good option for those for whom it is important to establish friendly communication with colleagues.

Rhinoceros in feng shui

According to Feng Shui, the rhinoceros is a brave animal with excellent defensive abilities. Talismans with it always look impressive and naturalistic, and they are used to protect the home from accidents, incidents and crimes. Rhinos attract good luck to business, neutralize negativity and make the family happy.

• Gold, silver, and black rhinoceroses are not only an important part of the apartment design, but also add endurance and strength of character to the owner. If gray and white figurines are made of ceramics, crystal, porcelain, they are intended to protect against the influence of bad people.
• Rhino made of wood attracts natural energy with positive charges. This talisman helps to survive the consequences of stress and quickly restores a person’s mood. It can be either a plain, simple animal or a decorated animal with a multi-colored pattern.
• In Feng Shui, the blue rhinoceros has the strongest protective powers. It turns negative flows into positive ones and reliably protects the apartment from uninvited guests and aggressive intrusions. It helps to protect yourself even from the evil thoughts of secret enemies, intrigues and gossip. Such a talisman perfectly promotes the owner’s career.

Where to place a dragon according to Feng Shui? The figurines should be kept in the living room or near the front door, preferably in pairs.

The dragon in Feng Shui is a fundamental talisman that ensures peace and harmony in the home. In China, this is not an evil creature at all, but a strong, strong-willed, revered image. The dragon consists of cosmic energy Qi and its every breath gives people hope. This talisman is able to reveal the potential of the owner's mind, soul and body.

As a rule, according to Feng Shui, the dragon has financial and career significance. This means that it protects the owner from bad partners, competition and brings good luck in new business.

There are different types of dragons in feng shui:

• The Tian Long or Sky Dragon is the most powerful and has five legs. Typically this is a golden dragon in feng shui. Its location sector is east, with its head directed to the south.
• Shen Long or the Dragon of Rain and Sea is a divine being who determines the weather and rules all directions of the world. He is responsible for financial prosperity and has 4 claws (previously had 3).
• Di lun or the dragon of the Earth is the most generous and sows wealth with cosmic breath. Sometimes you can incur his wrath, and then any business will not lead to enrichment. This is the green dragon in Feng Shui, and in the eastern sector it also helps strengthen family relationships.

The feng shui dragon symbol can be depicted in different poses or with certain animals. This affects the semantic load of the talisman:

• A dragon paired with a phoenix means well-being in the family and is often kept in the love sector. In the workplace, it protects against intrigue.
• A curved dragon with an open mouth and a pearl in its paw. This golden dragon in Feng Shui represents harmony and helps achieve goals.
• A turtle dragon with a pile of coins is a figurine that attracts happiness for children, including wealth and health.
• Imperial dragon with five fingers. This is a very powerful energy talisman. Such a golden feng shui dragon is not often ordered through a store, because it is very rare and is not suitable for home use. You need to install it at work.

Feng Shui dragon symbol: where to place it

Most, of course, are very interested in the question when there is already a feng shui dragon: where to place such a symbol so that its powerful energy is fully revealed? It is best to keep it in the eastern part: in the office, in the living room, on the left side of the door. A feng shui dragon figurine can be activated by the presence of water elements, such as a kitchen faucet or an aquarium. If you are wondering where to place a dragon according to Feng Shui to improve your well-being, choose the central sector so that it feeds you with Yang energy.

Additional activation of the talisman takes place at the hour of the dragon according to Feng Shui. You need to calculate the day of this creature from 7 to 9 a.m. local time according to the Chinese calendar and put dots on its eyes with black paint. It is important that he faces east throughout the ritual.

The image of a dragon in Feng Shui cannot be placed in the bedroom due to the activation of insomnia and in the bathroom due to loss of luck. You should not use more than 5 figurines. The dragon in feng shui should also be located no higher than eye level, and there should be no people born in the year of the Dog in the house.

According to Feng Shui, a dragon in a keychain is allowed, but the meaning of the talisman does not change. You can carry such a thing with you to bring changes to your life and attract heavenly or natural forces. The feng shui dragon even through photos helps single girls attract good luck in love.

Giraffe according to Feng Shui
