Snapping turtles

As a turtle breeder, what you most want to see is that your turtles grow fast and healthy Well, this will undoubtedly greatly increase their income. If the turtles grow fast enough, the cost of feeding them can be greatly reduced, thereby earning higher profits. So let’s take a look at the methods to shorten the breeding cycle of snapping turtles.

1. Strengthen the cultivation of snapping turtles to promote their early growth. The main method is to drain the pool water and increase the water temperature. Fortunately, there are no floating boards on the water surface to reduce the chance of basking in the sun, so as to increase the body temperature and strengthen the appetite;

2. Keep the snapping turtle in the optimal growth temperature. At this time, the snapping turtle can eat well and grow quickly and fully. It is possible to reach product specifications within a year or a year and a half;

3. Make full use of hot spring water and unpolluted residual water from factories to raise crocodiles. Even in the cold winter, as long as the bait is properly fed, , it can also be grown normally;

4. For heating, it is best to use hot springs or residual boiled water from the factory. Boilers and electric heating can also be used, but the cost is higher, usually in the coldest half of the year. Use it to eliminate the dormant period;

5. Temperature-controlled incubation of hatchlings. Under normal circumstances, the hatching time from eggs to hatchlings is 20 days. If the incubation temperature is controlled at about 32 degrees Celsius, it can Hatching 2 days in advance;

6. If conditions permit, use a constant temperature room for incubation, which can not only improve the hatching rate, but also shorten the incubation period and reduce the growth time;

7. In places with tepid water conditions, the thermal efficiency of plastic greenhouse lighting can be used to effectively prolong the growth of snapping turtles;

8. Ensure the temperature required by young turtles and promote their normal growth. Generally speaking, the suitable temperature for hatchlings is above 25 degrees Celsius. However, in early summer and late autumn, the pool water temperature is often lower than this. An effective method is to temporarily raise the hatchlings together and artificially increase the temperature to maintain the growth rate at normal water temperatures. .
