How many years can musk turtle reproduce, what condition does reproduction need

Musk turtles can reproduce after 5-8 years of growth. The time of sexual maturity of musk turtles of different genders is different. Generally speaking, the time of sexual maturity of male turtles is earlier. Male turtles can mature at the age of 4-7, while female turtles can reproduce at the age of 5-8. If you want musk turtles to mate and lay eggs, you must choose turtles that are fully sexually mature. By their body length, we can roughly judge whether they are mature or not. When they grow to about 14 cm, they can basically reproduce.

1. Musk turtles can reproduce in a few years

For general family rearing, the mature period of male turtles and female turtles is different. Male turtles mature earlier than female turtles. Male turtles can mature at the age of 4-7, while female turtles can mature at the age of 5-8. During their breeding season, it is best not to mix female turtles with male turtles, because male turtles in heat often harass female turtles. Therefore, when they have laid eggs, they should be kept separately to ensure that the female turtles can rest normally.

2. What conditions do musk turtles need to reproduce

1. First of all, they must all reach the age of reproduction. Female turtles can mature after 5-8 years of growth, while male turtles can mature after 4-7 years of growth.

2. Secondly, it is best to let them breed in spring. Spring is the peak of their estrus, which is generally in May and June in the north and in March and April in the south.

3. Thirdly, the breeder needs to prepare a sandy land for them and spread vermiculite on the sandy land to keep warm and moisturized.

4. Finally, give them enough time to mate, because it takes them a long time to reproduce.
