The grass turtle usually lays eggs from May to August every year. The grass turtle is a kind of poikilothermic animal, which changes its physiological activity with the change of temperature, and it is the peak period of its activity from June to August. The grass turtle can reach sexual maturity after about five years of growth, and can carry out some reproductive activities. In mid-to-late April, male and female tortoises mate naturally and lay eggs from May to August.
a female tortoise can lay eggs three to four times a year, with a maximum of a dozen eggs each time, and the longest incubation time is about 80 days. As a result, tortoises lay eggs from May to August every year after they have reached sexual maturity for five years.
The hatching of tortoises raised at home requires the help of manpower. Generally, after the tortoise lays eggs, the eggs just laid are relatively fragile, and after a period of time, the tortoise eggs can be transferred to the arranged incubator. The incubator should be filled with sand after exposure or disinfection, and sponges and thermometers should be placed to keep comfortable and adjust the temperature at any time. After arrangement, the tortoise eggs can be slowly buried in the sand, and after burial, a layer of sponge can be covered to keep warm and moist. Usually, you can bask in the sun or sprinkle some water to speed up incubation.
