There are many ways to divide the tortoise into male and female. If the tortoise is the same age, the female is usually bigger than the male. And their cloaca position is not the same, the female in the back of the plastron, and in the interior, the shape is round. Males are far from the plastron and are generally square. In addition, their plastron is also different, the female tortoise's plastron is flat, and the male's middle is concave, which facilitates its mating.
1. Breeding season: Turtles usually mature at the age of 5 and can breed at the age of 7. It should be noted that this animal has a breeding period, from April to August, when the temperature is suitable, so it can lay eggs, while at other times, turtles often do not breed.
2. Prenatal preparation: Before the turtles enter the breeding season, they need to keep the male and female turtles together so that they can complete mating and fertilization. It should be noted that the female turtle must be provided with a sandy soil for laying eggs, otherwise it will lay eggs in the water, which will reduce the success rate of hatching.
3. Hatching turtle eggs: To hatch turtle eggs, you need to prepare a hatching box. You can use a wooden box. The inside should be covered with 5 cm of fine sand. Then spread the turtle eggs inside. The top should be covered with 3 cm of sand. Cover with a wet towel. Control the temperature and humidity, and keep good ventilation.
