The Brazilian red-eared turtle has the ability to reproduce after reaching the appropriate age. After that, they will carry out the breeding process in the appropriate breeding season, the mother turtle first mated with the male turtle, and then the mother turtle will lay eggs. In general, the temperature is suitable in March and April, when the male and female turtles will start the mating process first. After mating, the mother lays her eggs from May to August. Especially in the two months of July and August, it is the peak period for female turtles to lay eggs. During this period, the environment needs to be kept suitable all the time, and the mother turtle may lay eggs many times.
After mating, the Brazilian red-eared turtle is in the process of laying eggs. They may lay several times during the months of May to August. The number of eggs laid each time is not necessarily, when more can reach 20, less can only be 3 or 4. The number of eggs laid by Brazilian red-eared turtles, which have just begun to lay, is relatively small. For example, if a Brazilian red-eared turtle starts laying eggs in the first year, the number of eggs may be only a few, generally not more than 10, and then there may be more.
During the period when the Brazilian red-eared turtle lays eggs, the environment must be kept suitable. If the environment is not suitable, it will lead to the poor quality of their eggs, hatching may be more difficult, or the quality of hatched turtles is not good. Feeding should be done regularly, and the most nutritious foods should be selected. The amount of food eaten by female turtles will increase, so the amount of feeding needs to be increased appropriately. In addition, water temperature, water quality and other factors need to be kept appropriate.
