Brazilian tortoises Brazilian tortoises usually lay eggs in late April, at 17-18 P. m. Brazilian tortoises will pair up on their own, and then they will choose to mate on land or in the water. After mating, about one female Brazilian tortoise will begin to lay eggs. Before laying eggs, they will choose a place with soft soil, dig a pit, and then lie on the pit to lay eggs. After laying eggs, they bury the eggs with soil and flatten them with plastron before leaving. Brazilian tortoises do not guard their nests, so breeders need to ensure the temperature and humidity of the container so that the eggs laid can hatch smoothly.
the Brazilian tortoise after breeding 1. After laying eggs, the Brazilian tortoise can choose to hatch naturally, that is, not to take out the eggs, but to hatch by natural light, temperature and humidity. This way of hatching is more convenient, but compared with artificial hatching, the hatching rate will be reduced a lot.
2. You can also choose artificial incubation. Prepare a suitable incubator before the Brazilian tortoise lays eggs. Put a sponge 2 cm high at the bottom. The moisture content should reach 90%. Put the middle layer into the groove. Put the eggs in the groove. Cover the upper layer with sponge. The moisture content of the upper layer sponge should reach 50%. The temperature in the incubator is controlled at 28-30 degrees, and the humidity is controlled at 85-90 degrees. Generally, it can be hatched in about 2 months.
