It takes about 5-6 years for red-faced egg turtles to reproduce, because it takes 4-6 years for them to mature. Although they can mature in about 4 years, because of the rapid development, all organs are not particularly mature. If they reproduce directly, the quantity and quality of their reproduction will not be very good. Therefore, it is best for red-faced egg turtles to wait for one year to reproduce after they mature. If breeders have time, they can try to breed in the same year when they mature.
2. How to reproduce red-faced egg turtlesBefore reproducing, breeders need to select mature red-faced egg turtles. The requirements for selection are large individuals, strong bodies and no defects in appearance. In order to improve the spawning and fertilization rate, parents are also required to mature well. After selection, female turtles and male turtles can be put in according to the ratio of 2: 1.
When the red-faced egg turtle breeds, the male turtle climbs on the back of the female turtle, grabs the neck of the female turtle with his forelimbs, and then puts his genitals into the release hole of the female turtle, thus completing mating. Most of the mating of the red-faced egg turtle is carried out in water. After successful mating, they will lay eggs in November of each year or April of the following year, and spawning will take place at night and end before Leon Lai Ming.
After the red-faced egg turtle lays eggs, the breeder needs to take out the eggs in time, put them in an incubator, wait for 3-4 days, and confirm that the eggs are fertilized before hatching.
