<H1>Breeding Turtles in tank?</H1><DIV id=Qtextbox><P><STRONG>Author: slotha</STRONG><BR><BR>Can turtles be bred in a large tank? What special requirements do they need? I've heard that it doesn't matter how old a turtle is to breed but it has to be a certain size. How true is this and what size would they start breeding at?

<br>

Cheers

<br>

But as for laying the eggs you would need a pond with a sand area around it for her to lay the eggs ..

<br>

<br>

Incubateing the eggs is also a better way to go for good results.. Once eggs are layed in water they are no good..

<br>

<br>

As for sexual maturity it depends on size as well as age

<br>

Eastern long necks and Murray short necks vary and is usually between 7-15 years old ..

<br>

The broad shell depending on size can breed at 4-7 years old

<br>

try black poly reticulated system solar heated

<br>

can also be thermostaticly controlled

<br>

this system is good if you live in a ciold area

<br>

<br>

system can also be set up under enclosure to keep inhabitants warm all year round

<br>

<br>

all you need is black poly tubing a small pump and the sun

<br>

ah and a thermostat if you want to go real techno

<br>

<br>

cheers
