What conditions can crocodile turtles lay eggs and how do they hatch

If you want crocodile turtles to lay eggs, you should choose mature male turtles and female turtles to mate. After successful mating, they can lay eggs. When crocodile turtles lay eggs, they will choose a wide land, open it and lay eggs in it. To breed crocodile turtles artificially, it is also necessary to prepare a piece of soft land or sand for them. In addition, breeders should ensure that their production environment is comfortable, and keep quiet, so as not to make too much noise affect their egg production.

1. What conditions will crocodile turtles lay eggs

If breeders want crocodile turtles to lay eggs, they should choose some male turtles with reproductive ability to mate with female turtles. Generally speaking, farmed crocodile turtles can mature in 3-4 years. Male turtles and female turtles can only lay eggs after mating successfully. When crocodile turtles living in the wild lay eggs, they all choose some wide and humid land, then open the soil, lay eggs in it, and finally cover the soil and leave. When breeding artificially, they should also prepare a land and sand for them to lay eggs.

In addition, when they breed, the breeder should ensure that the surrounding environment is comfortable, and keep the surrounding environment quiet, so as not to let too much noise disturb them.

2. How to hatch the eggs laid by crocodile turtles

After laying eggs, crocodile turtles will start hatching. Breeders should take their eggs out of the soil, wipe them clean and put them in the incubator. Put vermiculite in the incubator, then add water and stir to keep the environment moist. In addition, the temperature should be kept at about 30 ℃ and the humidity should be kept at 80%-85%. During the incubation period, the breeder needs to spray water regularly to ensure the humidity in the incubator. Also use the lamp regularly, and don't let the broken eggs pollute the normal eggs.
