? Razor turtles need to reach a mature age before they can breed. After razor turtles have the ability to breed, they will choose the appropriate season to mate. When mating, the male will chase the female constantly, and if the female agrees to mate, he will let the male climb on his back and complete the mating.
Razor tortoises usually mate in March, and lay eggs in April-August after successful mating. Female tortoises can generally lay eggs 2-3 times, with an interval of about 10-30 days, and the number of eggs laid each time is 2-5. After the eggs are
laid, they can be hatched. The breeder can choose natural hatching or artificial hatching. Natural hatchers do not need to prepare anything, but only rely on the natural environment to hatch. Artificial hatchery breeders need to prepare hatcheries and sprinkle 6 centimeters of fine sand in the box, then put the eggs in it and cover them with 4 centimeters of fine sand. Keeping the temperature and humidity suitable for about 80-90 days, the hatching can be successful.
? The breeding time of razor tortoises depends on the breeding environment and sex. Generally speaking, female tortoises grow up earlier. It only takes 4-5 years for them to mature. Male tortoises reach adulthood later, taking 5-6 years. In addition to the age of birth, breeders can also judge by the length of the carapace. When the carapace length of female tortoises reaches 10 centimeters and that of male tortoises reaches 10-12 centimeters, they can breed.
