How long does it take for turtles to hatch? Introduction to how to ovalize turtle eggs

As we all know, turtles have strong vitality, few epidemic diseases, and are easy to raise and manage, but this is for adult turtles. In the whole process of turtles or young turtles, carelessness in some links and details is not good. The hatching of turtle eggs is a more technical link, and if it is not done well, it will fail. So how to hatch turtle eggs correctly? Let's introduce it from the following six points.

First, scientific cultivation of parent turtles: the selection of improved varieties is the first condition to improve the hatching rate of turtle eggs. Parent turtles should be enlarged, strong, without disability and suitable for age. Female turtles are required to be more than 6 years old, with wrinkled and slightly hard leathery skin on the posterior edge, and males are required to be 3-4 years old, with a stocking density of 7 animals per square meter, with a male-to-female ratio of 3 ∶ 1.

Second, use pine as an incubator: there are many materials to make an incubator, but pine is better, poplar and willow must not be used. The sand bed of the incubator should maintain a certain humidity. Poplar and willow trees are very easy to grow white mold hyphae after damp. This kind of hyphae permeates among the sand grains, so that the sand grains are impermeable, and the eggs will suffocate and die.

Third, the use of river sand hatching: the performance of river sand ventilation and water conservation is good, so the hatching rate is high.

Fourth, pay attention to the time of egg collection: the embryo of the egg is fixed only after 8 hours to 30 hours after the turtle lays eggs, so the time for egg collection should be after 3 p.m. When there is a heavy rainstorm in the high temperature season, it should be collected in advance.

Fifth, carefully examine the fertilized egg: there is a white spot on the top of the fertilized egg shell, and its edge is clear and smooth, and the egg is bright pink or white. There is no white spot on the top of the shell, and the color is basically the same, which is an unfertilized egg. The white spot on the top of the shell shows a large irregular leukoplakia, which is a stunted egg. Neither of these eggs can be hatched in the box.
