The snail's shell is made up mainly of calcium derived from the soil and from feed. Snails derive most of their water requirements from the soil. Snails dig in the soil to lay their eggs and to rest during the dry season. For all these reasons it is essential that the soil is loose and that its calcium and water content is high. Heavy, clayey soil that becomes waterlogged in the rainy season and compacts during the dry season is undesirable. Very sandy soil is undesirable as well because of its low water-holding capacity.
