Why do unhatched baby turtles choose their sex by moving their position in the egg?

Because the embryo at the warmer end will develop into a female, while the one at the colder end will develop into a male.

I guess not, the gender is determined from birth.

This is genetically determined by their population.

Because that's what makes turtles unique, after all, animals are not the same as people.

I think it's possible that our research isn't accurate enough.

It seems that tadpoles are like this.

It is the function of the turtle to evolve according to the surrounding environment.

Each creature has its own unique abilities, and it is the right of the turtle to choose its sex.

Does it mean that tortoises are more advanced than humans?

Because the embryo at the warmer end will develop into a female.

There are two main reasons why turtle eggs hatch face down:

Gravity affects the socks: The turtle egg has an embryo in the front part of the turtle egg, which needs to develop and grow normally during the hatching process. When the tortoise egg is placed facing down, gravity puts pressure on the embryo, helps locate the embryo, and promotes proper head and tail development.

Avoid suffocation: During the hatching of turtle eggs, gases are naturally produced inside the embryo. Placing the tortoise eggs face down allows the gas to escape from the highest point (tail), avoiding accumulation inside the eggs and preventing the embryos from hatching smoothly due to suffocation.

It is important to note that there may be slight differences between different species of turtles, and some species will choose to hatch in hollows in the ground or in the soil, which is also related to their habits and environmental adaptations. In captive breeding, in order to simulate natural conditions, experienced breeders usually place the eggs face down to promote hatching success.

First of all, the answer is that this situation will not pay the little turtle. Turtles are typical reptiles that are hermaphroditic and fertilize in vitro to lay eggs and hatch. Female and male tortoises must work together to fertilize the eggs, and only fertilized eggs can hatch into baby turtles under the right conditions.

Therefore, if there are only female turtles, there are no male turtles that can hatch baby turtles.

Hope you can!

As long as it is a fertilized egg, there is no male tortoise can hatch a tortoise. Do your turtle's eggs have white spots on them? If not, no.

If there is, it can be artificially incubated. Put the sand or plantar stone in a perforated box, soak it in boiling water, disinfect it, soak it in water, then pour it completely dry, bury the egg half-in it, and cover it with a lid (with holes), as long as the air temperature and humidity are maintained.

No, if there is only a female turtle and no male turtle, then the eggs laid by the female turtle have not been fertilized, and the eggs that have not been fertilized cannot hatch the baby turtles.

There are no male tortoises, and female tortoises cannot hatch out hatches even if they lay eggs. The eggs laid by the female tortoise are not fertilized eggs.

Without a male tortoise, there is no way for a female tortoise to fertilize the eggs, and there is no way for an unfertilized egg to hatch a baby tortoise. An unfertilized egg will eventually spoil.

Even if there is no male tortoise, the eggs laid by the female tortoise can hatch as long as the temperature is reached.

Needless to say, it is definitely not possible to hatch a baby turtle.

This is an unfertilized egg that cannot hatch.

The eggs can be hatched by placing them in a suitable container at a temperature of 22 33, humidity at 80% to 90%, and sand at 8% to 12%.

1. Incubation

Put the turtle eggs in a wooden box covered with sand, then cover with 3 5 cm of sand, cover the top layer with a sponge, control the temperature between 22 33, control the humidity of the sand at 8% 12%, and hatch the hatchlings in about 50 60 days.

2. Temperature

The temperature will affect the length of the incubation period and the sex of the hatchlings, and it is best to control the hatching temperature at 22 33, when the temperature is 23 27, most of the turtles are males, and when the temperature is 30 33, most of them are females.

3. Humidity

The humidity of the sand will directly affect the development of the embryo, under normal circumstances, the air humidity is 80% 90%, and the sand humidity is 8% 12%, too high will cause the turtle eggs to die of breath, too low the turtle eggs will dry up and die.

Natural hatching: After laying eggs, turtles do not take out the eggs, but hatch with the temperature and humidity generated by natural light and rain.

Artificial incubation: After the turtle lays eggs, the eggs are taken out and moved into a container, and they are properly warmed and moisturized for incubation.

Sand-free incubation: The eggs are placed directly in a groove to control the temperature and humidity for incubation.

Indoor constant temperature incubation: 1 set of constant temperature incubator was purchased. 1 3 plastic or wooden boxes equipped with 27 cm x 34 cm (preferably customized according to the internal space of the incubator).

The bottom of the box is spread with 2 4 cm of sand, the collected turtle eggs are placed flat on the sand, and the upper layer is covered with 3 4 cm of sand, and a thermometer is inserted into the sand to facilitate the control of sand temperature.

The temperature of the incubator is adjusted to 30C, and the humidity in the chamber is controlled at 80 90. Check 3 4 times a day, record the sand temperature, and calculate the accumulated temperature and shell time at the end of incubation.
