After the mother soft-shelled turtle lays eggs, the next reproductive process is hatching. There are two ways to hatch turtle eggs. One of them is natural hatching, that is, the mother turtle spontaneously carries out a hatching method, wild turtle generally uses this way to reproduce. However, because the turtle is in the wild environment, the temperature and other factors in the surrounding environment can not be adjusted, so sometimes the success rate of breeding in this way is not particularly high.
Another way is the artificial incubation method. If the soft-shelled turtle is raised artificially, it is generally incubated in this way. You can prepare a incubator first, you can use plastic incubator, you can also use fir incubator, which can be covered with some sand or sponge, but these things should not be too much. Adjusting the temperature is a very important task, only the temperature is appropriate, can effectively shorten the incubation time, while improving the probability of success of incubation.
As mentioned above, there are two ways to hatch soft-shelled turtle eggs, namely natural incubation and artificial incubation. The natural hatching time is generally longer, and the probability of successful hatching of small turtles is not too high. Relatively speaking, the time of artificial incubation will be relatively short. However, this time is not certain, because environmental factors will affect the length of incubation time. One of the biggest factors is temperature, which shortens the incubation time when the temperature is suitable. In addition, different varieties of turtles, their eggs hatching time is also different. Some species of incubation time itself is relatively long, such as a turtle species called Shanrui turtle, their eggs incubation time takes nearly two months.
