First of all, the maturity of the Brazilian tortoise is related to gender. Males mature around 5-7 years old, and females need a longer time, usually 8- 10 years. In addition, the size and growth environment of the Brazilian tortoise will also affect its reproductive ability. Generally speaking, the body length of the Brazilian tortoise begins to enter the breeding period around 15-20 cm, but this is only a rough reference value, and it still depends on individual circumstances.
When the Brazilian tortoise enters the breeding period, it can lay 1-2 eggs every year, each egg is 3-4 cm in size. About the spawning time of Brazilian tortoises, it is usually carried out in the evening of spring and summer, but in normal times, they will choose a place near the water source where the wind is better to rest.
It should be noted that the artificial breeding of Brazilian tortoises is not a simple matter, which requires certain professional knowledge and skills. If you plan to breed your Brazilian tortoise, it is recommended to consult a professional and understand the relevant knowledge before trying. In addition, if your Brazilian tortoise does not lay eggs for a long time, or fails to hatch successfully after laying eggs, you should also consult a veterinarian or a professional in time to ensure the health and fertility of the Brazilian tortoise.
