Sand basin: Brazilian tortoises lay their eggs on land, and they dig a hole in the ground before laying eggs. Therefore, breeders need to prepare a sand basin for them so that they can lay eggs normally. Constant temperature: Brazilian tortoises usually start laying eggs in the morning or dusk. The temperature in these two periods is low, so breeders need to keep the temperature between 20-30 ℃. Quiet environment: Brazilian tortoises need a relatively quiet environment when laying eggs.
What do Brazilian tortoises prepare for laying eggs and how do they hatch after laying eggs 1. What do Brazilian tortoises prepare for laying eggs

1. Sand basin: Brazilian tortoises lay eggs on land, and they dig a pit 8-10 cm deep in the ground before laying eggs. Therefore, breeders need to prepare a sand basin for them, and put at least 10 cm of sand in the basin, so that they can lay eggs normally.

2. Constant temperature: Brazilian tortoises usually start laying eggs in spring, and usually lay eggs in the morning or evening. Because of the large temperature difference between morning and evening in spring, breeders need to keep warm in sand basins, so as not to affect their laying. Under normal circumstances, it is best to control the temperature between 20-30 ℃.

3. Quiet environment: Brazilian tortoises are sensitive when laying eggs, so breeders need to prepare a quiet environment for them, and don't disturb them with too much noise.

2. How to hatch the Brazilian tortoise after laying eggs

1. Prepare an incubator: After laying eggs, the Brazilian tortoise should first prepare an incubator, in which sand should be put, and vermiculite can also be put if conditions permit. After laying the sand, you can put the fertilized eggs on the sand, and the interval between eggs should be 2 cm.

2. Control the incubation environment: When the Brazilian turtle eggs hatch, the temperature should be kept between 22-33 ℃ and the humidity should be controlled between 80%-90%.

3. Regular inspection: Breeders should also regularly check the eggs of Brazilian tortoises, preferably illuminate them with a flashlight every day to avoid spoiled eggs affecting the hatching of other eggs.
