A female crocodile turtle can lay eggs, because they will start laying eggs when they are adults, and they will lay eggs normally with or without male turtles. However, because there is no fertilization, the eggs laid by female turtles cannot hatch young turtles. If breeders want them to reproduce, they must mate the female turtle with the male turtle. Only after the female turtle is fertilized can the eggs produced hatch the baby turtle.
2. How can crocodile turtles reproduce1. Choose suitable crocodile turtles: If you want crocodile turtles to reproduce, you should choose appropriate parent turtles. Generally speaking, it takes about 3-5 years for crocodile turtles to mature. It is best for breeders to select older crocodile turtles for breeding, so as to improve the quantity and quality of breeding. In addition, when selecting, we should pay attention to whether they are lively and healthy.
2. Keep a comfortable environment: Wild crocodile turtles breed after spring and when the weather warms up. When breeding artificially, it is also necessary to ensure that their living environment is comfortable, so that they can estrus and mate. Breeders need to keep the water temperature between 25-28 ℃ and change water frequently to ensure clean water quality.
3. Container for breeding: Crocodile turtles will lay eggs some time after successful mating. They need to lay eggs on land, and the breeder needs to give them a piece of soft land or sand for them to lay eggs on.
4. Container for hatching: After crocodile turtles lay eggs, the breeder needs to take them out, put them in the incubator, and wait for about 2 months before they can hatch successfully.
