Artificial incubation of turtle eggs:

The incubator can use wooden basins, wash basins, incubation trays (shallow wooden boxes of 70 cm x 50 cm x 15 cm), etc. First, lay a layer of fine sand about 5 cm at the bottom of the incubator. To facilitate embryonic development, place the "animal pole" of the turtle egg (referring to the larger end of the egg) upward on the fine sand, and then cover the egg with a layer of fine sand. About 3 cm thick fine sand, then cover it with a damp towel, and finally place the incubator in a ventilated place.

Temperature and humidity are the keys to the success or failure of hatching. Temperature and humidity that are too high or too low are not conducive to the embryonic development of turtle eggs. During artificial incubation, the temperature should be controlled between 28 and 32 degrees Celsius, and water should be sprinkled 1 to 2 times a day to maintain appropriate humidity. At the same time, attention should be paid to preventing natural enemies from harming the turtle eggs.

After about two weeks, you can shine a flashlight on the egg, and you can clearly see bloodshot eyes. At one month, there will already be a formed baby turtle moving in the egg. At this time, for some people , it is a great test of self-control. Picking up the eggs to observe them frequently is definitely not conducive to hatching.

After 50 to 60 days of incubation, the hatchlings can be hatched.
