? The Buddha snapping turtle usually begins to reproduce at the age of 3 to 6, when the Buddha snapping turtle is sexually mature. The best choice for parent turtles is 5 or 6 years old, because the quality of eggs is high, and the probability of hatching young turtles is relatively high. In addition to judging whether the snapping turtle can reproduce by its age, it can also be judged by its body length. Generally, the snapping turtle of 31 cm to 46 cm can reproduce. The snapping turtle's spawning season is from April to September, of which June is the peak season for spawning, because the temperature is the most suitable at this time. After laying eggs, the temperature of hatching young turtles should be stabilized at 22-28 C. After about 55 days, the young turtles can break out of their shells.
should be paid attention to in the breeding of Buddha snapping turtles? 1. In the early stage of mating, male and female Buddha snapping turtles should not be fed together to avoid fighting and biting their genitals, which will affect the quality of mating.
2. Male tortoises should be fed alone, and female tortoises should be put in turn to mate, so as to improve the fertilization rate.
3. The size of the two Buddha snapping turtles selected as parent turtles must not be too different, and the weight can have an error of 3 kg, so as not to harm the Buddha snapping turtles.
4. Be diligent in observation during mating. If the mother turtle is badly bitten, isolate the two sides immediately and stop mating.
5. The fertilized eggs laid by the mother turtle should be hatched in a special breeding tank, and the water temperature should be stabilized at 28 C, which can speed up the hatching.
