If the Brazilian red-eared turtles are raised at home, they can be allowed to breed after they have been raised to an appropriate age. After completing the process of mating, it is the process of laying eggs. From successful mating to laying eggs, the process is relatively long, about 20 days, so we need to wait patiently.
When the Brazilian red-eared turtle is about to give birth, there will be some signs. For example, the appetite of female turtles will be significantly reduced. Because the mother turtle will increase her appetite in the early stage of pregnancy, it is easy to observe the decline in appetite at this time. In addition, the female turtle's personality will become more irritable, walking restlessly in the container. Especially in the evening, this situation is more obvious. They will always look for a place to lay eggs, at this time we can divide an area in the container, put some sand, let them lay eggs. At the end of the day, the mother turtle digs in the sand and lays her eggs.
After the Brazilian red-eared turtle lays eggs, in order to better hatch, the process of artificial incubation can be carried out, so that the success rate of incubation will be relatively high, and the hatched turtles will be relatively healthy. When hatching, first prepare a box, then make some holes in the top part, lay a layer of sand or water moss on the bottom, and then put the eggs in it. It is necessary to sprinkle water on sand or sphagnum 1-2 times a day to ensure humidity. In addition, the temperature will also affect the incubation time, which needs to be kept above 20 degrees. If appropriate, about 2 months later, the eggs can be hatched.
