Snake-headed turtle lays eggs, how to hatch them?
Expose the egg to natural light and see if there is a white spot in the yolk. If there is, it means it has been fertilized and incubate it in a sand basin.
Artificial incubation of turtle eggs:
The incubator can use wooden basins, wash basins, incubation trays (shallow wooden boxes of 70 cm x 50 cm x 15 cm), etc. First, lay a layer of about 5 cm of fine sand at the bottom of the incubator. To facilitate embryonic development, place the "animal pole" of the turtle egg (referring to the larger end of the egg) upward on the fine sand, and then cover the egg with a layer of fine sand. About 3 cm thick fine sand, then cover it with a damp towel, and finally place the incubator in a ventilated place. Temperature and humidity are the key to the success or failure of hatching. Too high or too low temperature and humidity are not conducive to the embryonic development of turtle eggs. During artificial incubation, the temperature should be controlled between 28 and 320 degrees Celsius, and water should be sprinkled 1 to 2 times a day to maintain appropriate humidity. At the same time, attention should be paid to preventing natural enemies from harming the turtle eggs. After 50 to 60 days of incubation, the hatchlings will hatch.
