When breeding the Brazilian red-eared turtles, you can try to breed them at the right time. If you provide a suitable environment, it is possible to succeed. It is necessary to select the appropriate age of the Brazilian red-eared turtle for breeding, only after reaching the age of sexual maturity, they have the ability to reproduce, the mother turtle can lay eggs after mating. Brazilian red-eared turtles generally enter sexual maturity at an earlier age, and female turtles mature earlier than male turtles. Generally speaking, when the mother turtle is about 3 years old, she basically begins to have the ability to reproduce. However, if you want to breed better, you can choose a slightly larger female turtle to breed.
In addition, it can also be seen from their weight. The female tortoise matures early and can start breeding when it weighs about one kilogram. Moreover, from their carapace length, it is also possible, when the length is about 16 centimeters, the reproductive capacity is relatively strong.
Not only do the Brazilian red-eared turtles mature sexually at an earlier age, but their reproductive capacity is also relatively strong. After the female tortoise is sexually mature, it will start the reproductive process in April every year. After completing the process of mating, it is the process of laying eggs. From May to July every year, it is the time when the mother turtle lays the most eggs. In this process, the mother turtle can lay eggs 3-4 times, each time the number of eggs is relatively large, sometimes even up to 30, but overall more concentrated in 6-11. After they lay eggs, the eggs can be artificially incubated.
