It takes five to seven years for females to mature, and then they can mate and reproduce, while it takes three to five years for males to mature. After they have the ability to breed, breeders are advised to wait a year before allowing them to breed. Because they reproduce when they are just mature, even if they produce eggs, the fertilization rate is very small. Even if fertilized, the quality of the turtle seedlings produced is usually not very good. Therefore, it is better to wait for 1-2 years after maturity before they reproduce.

? The money turtle can lay eggs when it is an adult. However, the maturity time of the female money turtle is different from that of the male. Generally, the female needs 5-7 years, while the male only needs 3-5 years. If they are properly raised, the speed of their adulthood will be accelerated. After adulthood, the weight of female tortoises can reach about 2.5-3 kg, and the weight of male tortoises can reach 1.4-2 kg.

Although they can reproduce when they are sexually mature, breeders should not let them reproduce when they are sexually mature. If they are allowed to reproduce immediately, the reproductive effect will not be very good. Even if the hatching is successful, the physical quality of the young turtle will not be very strong.

2. How to hatch

money turtles after laying eggs? Money turtles can rely on natural temperature and humidity to hatch after laying eggs, but the success rate of this method is low. It can also be hatched artificially. The breeder can prepare a hatching container in advance, lay fine sand in the container, put the eggs in it and cover them with fine sand. When hatching, the temperature should be controlled between 26-34 C. The higher the temperature, the shorter the incubation time. However, most of the turtles hatched between 30 and 33 degrees Celsius are female, and those hatched between 25 and 26 degrees Celsius are male. Breeders can decide the sex of hatching according to their own needs. Spray water into the fine sand regularly, and it is better to control the humidity of the sand between 7% and 10%.
