in a few years, depending on where they live. If they are kept at home, they will lay eggs after about 18 months. There are two main reasons why they lay eggs faster. On the one hand, when snapping turtles are brought home, they will have been growing for a period of time. The second reason is that the energy provided to them in family feeding is sufficient and the environment is suitable, which is conducive to their growth and development. Naturally, they lay eggs relatively late. They generally need to grow for about three years before they can lay eggs. Nature is relatively harsh, but snapping turtles that grow in a natural state are healthier.
? If they grow in a natural state, the mother turtle will find a humid and suitable temperature for the growth of young turtles to lay eggs. When the hatchlings are hatched successfully, they will climb into the water by themselves. However, in home rearing, it is very difficult for the eggs to be hatched successfully if they do not care after laying eggs. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a suitable incubation environment for turtle eggs.
After they lay eggs, cover the eggs with towels from the upper and lower parts to ensure good air permeability. Then wash the towels with water at about 30 degrees Celsius every day to provide them with a moist environment. Finally, their hatching pond is placed in a water tank with suitable temperature to keep the temperature of their life constant. After a period of time, the eggs can be hatched successfully.
