How Austrian man quit his IT job to farm snails. Can this happen
In a dark barn on a farm on the outskirts of Vienna, Andreas Gugumuck is preparing the "love room" for the multiple guests that come to stay.
His role is to provide atmospheric lighting, and a steady supply of snacks for those visitors who want to take a break from being amorous with numerous partners.Yet Mr Gugumuck isn't running some sort of guest house of disrepute; he is in fact breeding snails.
The 40-year-old is Austria's only full-time professional snail farmer, producing 300,000 per year for human consumption.
With 1kg of snail meat selling for up to 80 euros ($105; £63) it is a lucrative business.
Mr Gugumuck sells up to 1.5 tonnes of snails per year to restaurants across Austria, and via exports, predominantly to Germany and the US.And he recently flexed his entrepreneurial muscles by diversifying into selling snail caviar - yes, snail eggs - and snail livers.

Nigerian woman makes Headline in UK
Baby Jonah is making headlines in the UK!
The Daily Mirror published a story with the headline “Black mum gives birth to WHITE baby in 1,000,000-1 odds that baffled midwives“
Catherine who is of Nigerian parentage
and her husband Richard who is white, expected their baby son to look
“mixed” but when he was born, he was so white that she was convinced the
midwives had brought her the wrong baby. Doctors have said the baby is
not an albino.
Financial analyst Catherine said: “Some
children get darker after a few weeks when the skin colour they will
have for life starts to become obvious. But you can see from the colour
at the tips of their ears what that will be. We saw straight away that
Jonah was fully white.”
