Brazilian tortoises can lay eggs. They will mate when they are mature. They will lay eggs about one month after successful mating. Brazilian tortoises usually begin to mate in late April and lay eggs in May-June, laying 3-19 eggs each time. Before laying eggs, they will choose a soft land, dig a small pit on the ground, lay eggs directly in the pit, and then bury them with soil after laying eggs, waiting for the fertilized eggs to hatch by themselves.

? The Brazilian tortoise can lay eggs. They are oviparous animals that mate with each other. Captive Brazilian tortoises mature around the age of seven. They usually start mating in mid-April or late April every year. When mating, male Brazilian tortoises usually actively pursue females. If female Brazilian tortoises have the idea of mating, they will be successful. If the female Brazilian tortoise is not willing to mate, the male Brazilian tortoise will change his pursuit. About a month after successful mating, they can lay eggs. Before laying eggs, they will choose a place and dig a hole in the ground. Female Brazilian tortoises will lie in the hole to lay eggs. After laying eggs, they will bury the eggs with soil and let them hatch naturally.

2. How to hatch

the eggs laid by Brazilian tortoises? After laying eggs, Brazilian tortoises will bury the eggs with loose soil or sand, which depends on the natural environment to hatch. This incubation method is more convenient, but the incubation time will be long, and the incubation rate is not high. If breeders want to hatch Brazilian turtles better and faster, it is better to prepare an incubator, which is covered with sand, keep the temperature between 22-32 C, and the humidity in the air is 80%. In about a month, the eggs of Brazilian turtles can hatch.
