When breeding, the male turtle will discharge sperm into the reproductive hole of the female turtle, and then the female turtle will lay eggs in about a month. At this time, the eggs laid are fertilized eggs.
When the Brazilian tortoise lays its eggs, it will choose a place with soft soil, then dig out a pit and lay its eggs in it.
After giving birth, they will cover the eggs with the scraped soil and wait for them to hatch on their own.
First, how to breed the Brazilian tortoise. When it is mature, it will pair itself. After successful pairing, it will choose to mate at 18- 19 in the evening.
During mating, the male Brazilian turtle will discharge sperm into the reproductive hole of the female Brazilian turtle, thus completing the mating.
About a month after mating, female Brazilian tortoises will lay eggs. Before laying eggs, they will choose a suitable land, then open it and lay their eggs in the dug pit.
After laying eggs, they will fill the pit with soil and let the fertilized eggs hatch on their own.
The breeding time of Brazilian tortoise is from May to August every year, and each female Brazilian tortoise can lay 3- 19 eggs at a time.
Second, how to hatch the Brazilian tortoise after breeding 1, if the environment for laying eggs is arranged in advance, you can choose to let them hatch naturally, but natural incubation depends on natural temperature, humidity and air, so the success rate is not as high as that of artificial incubation.
2. Breeders can also make their own incubators.
First, prepare a wooden box of suitable size, put a layer of fine sand on the bottom, then evenly put the eggs of the Brazilian tortoise on the sand at a distance of 2 cm, then cover them with sand, and put a layer of absorbent sponge on the sand.
The temperature of the incubator should be controlled between 22 and 33 degrees, and the humidity of sand should be controlled at 8%- 12%.
Generally, it can hatch in about 55-65 days, and the success rate of this hatching method is higher than that of natural hatching.
