When raising Brazilian turtles in the family, you can try to breed them. The Brazilian tortoise does not lay eggs until the age of sexual maturity. When they start laying eggs can be seen from two aspects. First of all, it can be seen from the aspect of age. Brazilian tortoise into the age of sexual maturity is relatively late, generally breeding 4 to 5 years of Brazilian tortoise, will have the ability to reproduce. Of course, there will also be Brazilian turtles with early sexual maturity.
In addition to age, you can also look at their weight. Generally speaking, when the weight of male Brazilian turtles reaches about 300 grams and the weight of male Brazilian turtles reaches about 500 grams, they enter the age of sexual maturity and carry out the process of mating and reproduction. Before mating, female Brazilian turtles will actively let male Brazilian turtles ride on their backs. After about one to three months of mating, they become very anxious, indicating that they are about to lay eggs. The number of eggs laid by female Brazilian turtles is usually between 5 and 15.
If the Brazilian turtle changes its shell, it means that they have grown up. Generally speaking, they will not change their shells until they are adults, or they will change their shells when they are older. However, the time they change their shells is not certain. Sometimes they can change their shells once a year. Sometimes they don't change the shell completely, or they just change the edge of the shell, and sometimes they don't change the shell for a long time. These situations are possible, so don't worry too much if the Brazilian tortoise does not change its shell.
