the hatching pond is usually about 2 square meters. The bottom of the pond should be covered with 3-5 centimeters of wet sand, and then the geothermal heating line should be buried in the sand. Then dig out the eggs laid the next day, arrange them on the sand in turn, the side with white spots is upward, the interval is about one centimeter, lay about 3 centimeters of thick wet sand on the eggs, cover a wet cloth on the top of the sand, and finally cover them.
