Breeding razor turtles, you can let them breed at the right time, even in the family breeding, breeding is likely to be successful. Female tortoises can only have the ability to reproduce after entering the stage of sexual maturity, and the process of reproduction can be carried out in the appropriate season. In the specific reproductive process, mating is an important step. After mating with a male tortoise, the female will lay eggs in the next few months.
The age of sexual maturity of female turtles is generally 4-5 years old. This is only a rough age, specifically, the age at which they enter sexual maturity is individual differences, not necessarily. Sometimes there will be precocious female turtles, sometimes there will be late-maturing female turtles, this is a possible phenomenon. In addition to judging by their age, you can also see the length of the mother turtle's carapace. When their carapace length reaches 10 centimeters, they can basically reproduce.
In the process of razor turtle breeding, the first thing is to mate in the appropriate season. After this process is completed, the mother lays her eggs for the next few months. Female tortoises have a strong ability to reproduce, they can lay 3-4 times a year, the number of eggs per time is not certain, if more, it may reach 16. After that is the process of incubation, which can be carried out by artificial incubation. It takes a long time to hatch, usually 80-90 days to hatch successfully. Therefore, the process of incubation requires patience. Special attention needs to be paid to regulating the surrounding environment so that incubation can be faster. Generally speaking, after 30 days, the fertilized egg will change color and become purplish red; After 70 days, the egg shell will begin to turn black.
