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.
He says it is a significantly more enjoyable job than his previous life working in IT.
Snails eggs and livers fetch premium prices
