Crocodiles lay eggs, because crocodiles use oviparous reproductive methods. Mating is the first step in the reproductive process, after which the female crocodile lays eggs. After female crocodiles lay eggs, their personalities become more irritable and they are easy to fight with other crocodiles because of their territory. Before laying eggs, they dig a pit in the ground, and then lay eggs in this pit, and the process of hatching is also carried out in this pit. The number of eggs laid by crocodiles is not certain. Sometimes less, only close to 20; Sometimes more, can lay about 80 eggs
As mentioned above, crocodile eggs are laid in the pit dug by female crocodiles, and hatching is also carried out in this pit. Crocodile incubation time is relatively long, incubation period is generally between 2 months to 3 months. In this process, the female crocodile will not be far away from the pit they dig, they will always stay by the side. When the hatching process is complete, the baby crocodile will break out of its shell and make a sound. At this time, the female crocodile will go to help the baby crocodile get out of the soil, and the process of reproduction is over.
Although the time for natural incubation is relatively long, if artificial incubation can be carried out, the time required for incubation will be shortened, because the surrounding environment can be adjusted artificially at this time, so that various environmental factors are in a suitable state.
