Flame tortoises can lay about 30 eggs a year after they grow up. They usually enter the spawning period from June to September. They can lay about four eggs a year, 5-10 eggs each time. Compared with other tortoises, their breeding capacity is relatively large, because their adaptability is relatively strong, they can resist both cold and heat, and they are not picky about the environment in which they are raised, and they can be raised in water tanks or basins.

1. How many eggs

do flame turtles lay in a year? Adult flame turtles can lay about 30 eggs in a year. They usually start mating in May and enter the spawning period from June to September. During the spawning period, they will lay eggs in four times, and each time they can lay 5-10 eggs. They have strong adaptability, can tolerate high temperature and low temperature, and do not require high feeding conditions and environment. As long as they can ensure sufficient water and food, they can survive. They can use basins or water tanks when they are raised at home.

2. How to hatch

the eggs laid by the flame tortoise 1. Natural hatching: After the flame tortoise lays eggs, the breeder can choose natural hatching, which is to use the natural climate to let the eggs hatch by themselves. This method of incubation is relatively simple, but the success rate of incubation is not high.

2. Artificial incubation: When hatching artificially, you need to select the fertilized eggs first. When selecting the fertilized eggs, you can aim at the sunlight to observe. The ruddy inside is a good fertilized egg. Then put them in a 50 * 70 * 10 cm incubator, put 6 cm high sand in the box first, put the eggs in and then spread about 4 cm of sand. They can hatch after 2-3 months by keeping the temperature at 25-32 C and sprinkling water three times a day. After hatching, the breeder should first disinfect their umbilical cords, keep the water temperature at 25-30 C, and change the water once a day.
