Does a Brazilian turtle have a red tail to lay eggs?

Brazilian tortoises will lay eggs when there is fluffy sand or soil, when the mood is relaxed, or in a quiet place at home, my Brazilian tortoise especially likes to lay eggs on the balcony, about four each time, the following is my experience and suggestions for raising tortoises, 1. Brazilian tortoises are relatively easy to raise turtle species. However, this does not mean that you can raise them indiscriminately, and you still need to pay attention to the method of raising Brazilian turtles.

2. Feeding rules:

Adults are recommended 3 times a week, but hatchlings can be once a day. Brazilian tortoises have a keen sense of sight and smell, so they are very good at grabbing food. Under the conditions of captivity, they like to eat animal bait, such as fish, pork, animal offal, mussels, snails and bloodworms (midges larvae), red heartworms (earthworms), mealworms (bread worms), fly maggots, etc., and the food should not have thorns and bones to avoid injury to turtles.

It is better to feed fresh raw meat, the meat becomes hard after cooking, and the turtle does not like to eat hard things. Brazilian turtles love shrimp. Adult or elderly Brazilian tortoises are extremely hungry, and some turtles will eat plants such as leaves, rice, and soft melons and fruits, but this is relatively rare.

Young turtles basically eat only meat. The red-eared turtle has no selective feeding time, and eats evenly day and night. In the state of hunger, there is a rush to eat, and the phenomenon of eating too much and eating too much occurs.

3. Hatchling turtle rearing:

Juvenile Brazilian tortoises can be raised in flat-bottomed containers, plastic pots, plastic troughs, glass tanks or boxes, and aquariums are all suitable.

Each baby turtle should have 5 litres of water to move around, and the depth of the water should not exceed the length of the turtle's body, so that the turtle can hold its feet to the ground when it breathes at the surface. At the same time, they must also be made of bricks and stone chips or buy a sundeck so that the turtle can dry its back. Floating islands are not suitable because hatchlings often can't climb up.

The water temperature that the hatchlings can adapt to is about 23-28 degrees Celsius. When it's cold, the air on the container should also be warmed, and adding a shade light to the tank can give you the best of both worlds. If the water temperature is still too low, you can set a heating rod in the water to adjust the temperature as much as possible.

4. Adult turtle breeding:

Adult turtles need much larger tanks so that they have enough room to move. To create an ideal environment, a pair of grown Brazilian tortoises need at least 100 litres of water. If the tank is too small, the Brazilian turtle will quickly become obese and sluggish, and if it falls into the water on all fours, it will drown because it cannot roll over.

There have also been cases of tortoiseshell stunting due to the size of the culture container. Large plastic basins, aquariums or large wooden containers with plastic sheeting can be used as turtle troughs. The most convenient is the trough with drainage holes, as it is easy to change the water and clean frequently.

In order to make the water temperature in the breeding tank reach the temperature preferred by the Brazilian turtle, the heating rod used in the aquarium is used, and the equipment and wiring should be prevented from getting stuck in the Brazilian turtle. The electric felt can also be placed at the bottom of the outside of the breeding box, and the synthetic resin rubber can be padded under the electric felt as an insulating material. However, the water temperature should not be higher than the outside temperature (about 25 to 30 degrees Celsius) to prevent the Brazilian turtle from catching cold.

Before laying eggs, Brazilian turtles will have the following symptoms and behaviors:

1. Constantly walking around in the turtle tank or breeding environment, showing extreme restlessness, this situation is especially obvious at night.

2. Turtles will have obvious pit behavior in sandy areas.

3. The situation that the appetite will be seriously reduced and not eating or drinking.

If the female turtle is in the water, she will be restless and want to get out of the water, her hind legs are bent, and the soles of her feet rub back against the root of the tail, at this time, give her a pile of sand, and she will use her hind limbs to dig a pit in the sand to lay eggs.

There is no warning before the Brazilian turtle lays its eggs. You just need to find a place to put a little thicker coarse sand, you must remember that it is coarse sand, otherwise the eggs will not be able to breathe air in the sand, the female turtle will climb into the sand to lay eggs, pay attention to maintain humidity, the female turtle should strengthen nutrition, laying eggs is actually very harmful to the female turtle. When the egg is laid, you can let it out and walk around.

At this time it will crawl around a lot ,..

You put it out, it gets tired of running and puts it back in the pot at night.

If possible, you can put sand on it. If it's an egg that's laid in a pot. It's easy to get eaten by it. It's best to keep your eyes fast and keep an eye on whether there is any movement at any time.

After giving birth, the appetite will increase greatly. At this time, you should feed it twice as much food as usual to replenish its nutrients.

Turtles generally start laying eggs in June-August. Before laying eggs, the Brazilian turtle is uncertain and refuses to eat, crawling around in the tank and on the ground, as if looking for a nest to lay eggs. (I didn't prepare a nest to lay eggs, and finally it found a more suitable place to lay eggs).

It has lasted for more than 10 days, when the egg is about to be laid, the two hind legs keep rubbing, so that it will take a day or two, and finally lay the egg, the egg is 3 cm long, the diameter is cm, and the weight is about 7-8 grams. White. About 15 at a time.

The next time in about 20 days, you can go down three to four times. Turtles grow more slowly after laying eggs

When a turtle lays eggs, the first thing to distinguish is whether it is a water egg or not. Water eggs are released from mature eggs, and fertilized eggs have a chance to hatch into turtles, so they should be treated differently.

If it is a water egg, it can be cooked directly, if it is not a water egg, it is necessary to control the temperature and humidity of the incubation room and try to make it hatch. Turtles need to be artificially hatched after laying eggs. Artificial incubation of eggs is relatively simple, do not touch the eggs within 24 hours of the female turtle laying eggs, and so on, put the eggs in the soft sand soil with a humidity of 30% and a temperature of 25-28 degrees Celsius, and then put them in a ventilated place, and take protective measures to prevent damage from external factors.

Artificial incubation takes about 2-3 months, and pay attention to humidity and temperature during the process. If you don't plan to hatch, you can do it yourself.

Hatching of a Brazilian tortoise: first look at whether it is a fertilized egg: the fertilized egg has a visible white band or patch on the shell.

If so, it can be hatched. Artificial incubation. Put the collected turtle eggs in a wooden box with a height of 25 cm, drill a number of small holes at the bottom of the box, lay 15-20 cm of sand or moss at the bottom, row the turtle in the sand or moss, and then sprinkle about 2 cm thick fine yarn or moss on the eggs, cover the sand with a wet towel, and keep the indoor humidity at 25-35 degrees.

On sunny days when the air is dry, sprinkle water on the sand 1-2 times a day, and the air humidity is larger, which can reduce the number of sprinkling.

There are two conditions for incubation: temperature and humidity. The temperature is between 22 and 33 degrees Celsius, and most of the flashy turtles are male turtles when it is below 27 degrees Celsius, and most of them are female turtles when they are about 31 degrees Celsius.

The humidity requirements are different according to the incubation material, the air humidity is about 80%, if the incubation material is sandy, it is about 12%, and if it is moss, it is about 30%. The incubation time varies according to the temperature and humidity. Generally 60-80 days out of the shell. ^-
