The hatching method of Brazilian turtle eggs is as follows:
1.To confirm whether the eggs are fertilized, you can tell by the appearance of white spots.
2.Choose a wooden box of the right size, spread it with thick sand, and configure it with a thermometer, a hygrometer, a sponge or gauze, etc.
3.The collected eggs are laid flat on the sand, covered with 3-5 cm of sand, and the top layer is covered with a sponge to maintain humidity.
4.Temperature and humidity are key, the temperature should be between 22-33°C, and the humidity should be controlled at 8% to 12%. During the incubation process, the temperature and humidity should be adjusted, and water should be splashed every day according to the dry and wet conditions of the sandy soil, and the container should be moved outside to shine in the sun to increase the temperature.
5.Wait 50-65 days for the hatchlings to break out of their shells. When hatchling, the juvenile turtle arches out of the sand on its own.
6.After the umbilical cord falls off, put it in potassium permanganate solution for 10 15 minutes to disinfect, and then put it in a shallow pool for temporary recuperation.
Young turtles that have just hatched should not be fed bait immediately, and should be fed cooked egg yolk or chopped earthworms, fish, etc. one day later. Feed twice a day, after each water change. During the incubation process, avoid container collisions, ants and rodent infestations.
The regulation of incubation temperature and humidity varies depending on the hatching material. Small-scale incubation can be carried out in wooden boxes, and heating can be controlled with incandescent bulbs of different wattages, and the ambient temperature is generally maintained at around 28 32.

The Brazilian tortoise will crawl around in the container before laying eggs, and its mood can seem very irritable, especially in the evening or late at night.
Brazilian turtles may also experience a decrease in appetite or stop eating before laying eggs and macros, and keepers can take a closer look at the summoning book.
And when they are about to give birth, they will dig a hole in the ground and lay the eggs inside.
After laying, the pit is covered with soil so that the eggs can hatch naturally.
1. Precursors of Brazilian turtles laying eggs: Brazilian turtles will reduce the amount of food they eat or do not eat before laying eggs.
Breeders can prepare some high-nutrient, high-protein foods for them.
And before laying eggs, they will keep walking around, and their legs will kick back from time to time.
The mood is very restless, especially after dark, and the mood is extremely irritable.
When they are about to be born, they will also have a nest because they will lay eggs in the nest.
2. How to hatch after laying eggs 1. Natural hatching: Brazilian turtles will dig pits before laying eggs, they will lay eggs in the pit, and they will cover them with soil or sand, relying on natural light, burial temperature and humidity to hatch.
This type of incubation has a slightly lower success rate, so it is usually incubated in artifice, but if the temperature is right, the breeder can also let them hatch on their own.
2. Artificial incubation: If you lay more eggs, you can buy a constant temperature incubator, spread 2-4 cm of sand on the bottom of the box, and then spread 3-4 cm of sand after putting the eggs on it.
The temperature of the incubator needs to be controlled at 30 degrees, the humidity should be 80%-90%, a thermometer can be inserted into the sand, checked 3-4 times a day and recorded, generally about 55-65 days can be incubated.

The ability of Brazilian turtles to cross with other native freshwater turtles has led to the loss of genes from native freshwater turtles, which has also greatly affected the genetic diversity of native freshwater turtles.
Shi Haitao once saw a baby turtle born after crossing a Brazilian turtle with a native freshwater turtle on a breeding farm.
Due to factors such as animal release, Brazilian turtles often occupy an absolute advantage in a certain body of water, which increases the possibility of crossbreeding between Brazilian turtles and native freshwater turtles.
In the long run, the genes of native turtles will no longer be pure, and may slowly lead to extinction, resulting in a single species.
Brazilian tortoises are also responsible for the spread of Salmonella, with 85% of farmed turtles carrying Salmonella paratyphi, especially young turtles.
These germs have been shown to spread to and within homeothermic animals, including humans. Judgment.

The Brazilian turtle is non-toxic, and the harm that people often say about the Brazilian turtle is the salmonella they carry, which is a very common foodborne pathogenic bacteria, not only on the body of animals, but also on the human body. However, the number of Brazilian turtle hatchlings is large, and it is very easy to infect people with low immunity, so people often say that Brazilian turtles are poisonous, but in fact, this is not poisonous, just a bacteria.
Although Brazilian tortoises carry salmonella, this does not affect home rearing and generally does not become infected as long as you wash your hands with disinfectant or soap after touching them. However, it should be noted that pregnant women and children should not be exposed to it, because the resistance of these two groups of people is relatively low, and the infection will have a great impact on physical health.
Two yards and、What do you need to pay attention to when raising Brazilian turtles。
Although Brazilian tortoises carry Salmonella, the number of tortoises carried by them will be greatly reduced when they reach adulthood, so it is necessary to wash your hands frequently and avoid touching them with your limbs as much as possible. It is also important not to release the turtles, because the Brazilian turtle has a strong destructive power to the ecological environment, and if it is released in the natural environment, it will rob the resources of the native turtle and have a great impact on the local ecology.

Yes Brazilian tortoises are alien species, and tortoises hatched from Brazilian tortoise eggs may harm native ecosystems and are harmful.
-
Harmful! The Brazilian tortoise is an alien pest! Brazilian tortoises have no natural predators in China! It has caused great harm to the spike larvae and shrimp of the Chinese cherry tree in Zhengwang Chinese waters! Its eggs hatch from a tortoise harmful!
-
It is an invasive alien species, do not release it back into nature, you can raise it yourself, if you do not send it to a pet store.

There is a terrestrial damage to the potato. The ability of Brazilian turtles to cross with other native freshwater turtles leads to the loss of genes in native freshwater turtles, which also greatly affects the genetic diversity of native freshwater turtles. Therefore, the eggs of the Brazilian turtle hatching cavity are harmful.
Under the belly are spotted males and females are hollow stripes.
How old do Brazilian turtles have to be to lay eggs.
Generally speaking, females of the same age are always larger than males. The common Brazilian turtle is as mature as the male weighs 300 grams, and the female weighs about 500 grams. Other turtles have different standards depending on the species. >>>More
Although the Brazilian turtle is omnivorous, it eats animal bait. Under the conditions of artificial breeding, poultry, pigs and other animal offal, fly maggots, and bread worms are the mainstay. >>>More
It's winter, the Brazilian turtle is hibernating, so it's not going to eat, it's going to excrete, and when it's hot, it's going to eat and excrete, and the water is higher than the turtle's back, and it's going to be raised with sea sand There's no problem, but you have to wash the sand, and it's winter, and it's fine, but in the summer, it's a little troublesome to raise a turtle in the sand, and you've got an island, and then the turtle will definitely climb up, and the turtle has just swam and it's climbed on the sand, and it's going to be full of sand, and I put the turtle in the sand last summer As a result, his whole body was covered with sand, so it was better to throw the sand under the water in the summer, and it didn't matter in the winter.
Healthy turtles, whether the food is low in the water or on the surface of the water, they will find to eat Your turtle is not only bought back not long after it is normal not to eat within a week Turtles are afraid of life Healthy ghosts larger than 6cm are better to hibernate Sick and young turtles are to be warmed or semi-dried to survive the winter The most important two points of raising turtles are to keep the water clean and the temperature of the water to keep the temperature constant The temperature in spring, summer and autumn should be at least 22 degrees or more, or the turtle will catch a cold. >>>More
