The flame turtle is a pet turtle that can be kept at home. In the process of breeding them, we can try to breed them, which may be successful. However, this can only be done after they have entered the stage of sexual maturity and have the ability to reproduce. Generally speaking, they can reproduce at a relatively late age, breeding after 1978 female flame turtles have the ability to reproduce, and then can lay eggs and hatch in the appropriate season.
However, seven or eight years is only a general period of time. Specifically, it is not certain that female flame turtles will start laying eggs after several years of breeding. Individual differences are quite obvious. Moreover, this time will also be affected by the way of breeding, so in the process of breeding need careful maintenance, especially feeding, must provide nutritious food.
After the flame turtle has the ability to reproduce, it will reproduce at an appropriate time. Generally speaking, this time is in May every year, because the temperature and other conditions are more appropriate. At this time, they will mate and lay eggs from June to September. The eggs are laid four times, and each time they lay between five and ten eggs. If you want them to hatch faster and more efficiently, you can carry out artificial incubation. Put them in an incubator, then adjust the temperature to 25-32 degrees, and keep watering regularly every day. The incubation time is relatively long, between 60 and 80 days, and then the incubation can be successful.
