young snapping turtles? If the snapping turtles have just broken their shells, the breeder cannot touch them with his hands, nor can he transfer them. They need to crawl in the hatching place for 1-3 hours, wait for them to absorb all the lecithin, and then take them out and raise them in shallow water. All parts of the body
of crocodile turtle seedlings are relatively soft, so they should not be put into the cement pool when they are born, because the cement pool may scratch their plastron or limbs. They can be raised in plastic pots for a period of time, and then put into cement pools when their carapaces and plastrons are a little harder.
Newborn young snapping turtles do not need to be fed for the first week, because they have enough lecithin in their bodies to absorb for a week. Breeders can feed them after 5-7 days. Young snapping turtles can be fed with some cooked egg yolks, red worms, mealworms or peeled shrimps. If the snapping turtle is born in spring and summer, it can be fed twice a day, and if it is born in winter, it can be fed once a day.
up? Generally, the snapping turtle will become an adult in 3-5 years, but it will grow slowly after it becomes an adult. If it is raised in a proper environment, with adequate food and nutrition, it may become an adult in 3 years. The time for female tortoises to mature will be shorter, usually 3 years, male tortoises generally need 4-5 years, adult snapping turtles have the ability to reproduce.
