? Musk turtles can change their shells, but they are small and their adult length is about 8-14 centimeters, so it is not obvious when they change their shells. If the musk turtle has a warped shell or a white thing on its carapace, it may be sick, and the breeder needs to determine the cause as soon as possible, and then treat it.
? Musk turtles breed. They all mate in spring every year, but because of the different temperatures in different places, they mate at different times, but around April. Musk tortoises usually mate underwater and then dig a nest under rotting dead wood or leaves on the shore. They usually begin to lay eggs in February-June of the next year, which is somewhat different from other tortoises. When they lay eggs, males build nests with females, and some females build nests alone. After the nest is built, the female turtle will lay her eggs in it. For artificial breeding, a layer of sand can be laid under it. It is better to wash and dry the sand before using it.
musk turtles musk turtles can be hatched in vermiculite after laying eggs, because they have a good moisturizing effect. When hatching, the temperature needs to be adjusted to 28 degrees Celsius, and if the temperature is not high enough, other heating equipment needs to be used to raise the temperature. Usually, the hatchlings are born after 60-84 days of incubation.
