Turtles can lay 30-50 eggs a year. They can lay eggs 1-2 times a year, and the number of eggs laid each time will be about 15-25. However, there are also some older turtles that lay eggs more often, about 3-4 times. So older turtles can lay 50-80 eggs a year. There are also some turtles with high breeding frequency, which can lay eggs eight times a year, but this is not common, so the number of eggs laid is difficult to estimate.
How many eggs can soft-shelled turtles produce in a year, and how to deal with the eggs they give birth to 1. How many eggs can turtles lay in a year

Turtles can lay 30-80 eggs in a year, but the number of eggs laid by different ages is also different. Under normal circumstances, newly mature turtles can lay eggs 1-2 times a year, and the number of eggs laid each time will be 15-25, so they can lay 30-50 eggs a year. Older turtles will lay more eggs or more frequently. They can lay eggs about 3-4 times a year, so they can lay 50-80 eggs a year. Of course, there are also some turtles with very high breeding frequency, which can lay eggs eight times a year, but the frequency of laying eggs is not common, so the number of eggs they lay each time is impossible to estimate.

2. How to deal with the eggs laid by the soft-shelled turtle

1. Selection: After the soft-shelled turtle lays eggs, the breeder must first take out the eggs and distinguish them one by one. If it is fertilized turtle eggs, it can be directly transferred to the incubator. If it is an unfertilized turtle egg, it can be thrown away directly.

2. Hatch: To hatch fertilized turtle eggs, prepare a comfortable incubation environment for them. First of all, the water temperature should be controlled between 30-32 ℃, and the humidity should be kept between 5% and 15%. It is also necessary to ventilate every day to keep the air in the incubator circulating. After artificial incubation for about one month, small turtles will hatch from turtle eggs, but newborn turtles can't live in water, so breeders need to prepare a soft land for them, and then put them back into water after breeding for about one week.
