As far as the author is concerned, it is the sixth generation of breeding ponds so far, and will continue to make progress in the process of innovation. It is certain that one generation will be more advanced and better than the next, and keep pace with the times.

The third generation of breeding ponds is now in use, and the improved ones are beautiful, elegant and practical.

The pool is 5 meters long, 3.5 meters wide, and has a rectangular shape. The perimeter of the pool is 50 cm high. It is solidly built with masonry to prevent turtles from escaping. In this way, it will not leak water, but also protect the turtle body from scratches.

The pool is divided into three parts, each of which accounts for one-third of the total area of the pool, one-third of which is the water-containing part, and the water-containing part near the land is a slope, and the slope is high to low. Make a slope, and leave a drainage hole at the end of the water-retaining part of the turtle for cleaning. Two-thirds of the land is a sand sink, and there is space around the sand sink for tortoises.

The other end of the land is the end of the pond, which also occupies one-third of the pond. A 30-centimeter-high mixture of fine sand and soft soil should be placed for the female tortoise to lay eggs. In the spawning ground, the mixed soil must be immersion-proof and have proper humidity, so that the female turtle can dig holes to lay eggs.

Money turtles like to be quiet and afraid of surprises. They don’t like direct sunlight, and they are more afraid of sun exposure. A greenhouse should be built on the pool for shading, but it must be well-lit, air-flowing, and pollution-free. The pool water should be Change, the water is clear.

The mating period of the golden turtle is mainly in spring and autumn every year. The male turtle is particularly active during the estrus period and has an excited expression. The mating process is carried out in the water. First, the male turtle chases the female turtle and stops the female turtle from marching. , After a period of flirting, when the female turtle swims slowly, the male turtle will sneak attack and grab the back of the female turtle with his forelegs, jump on the female turtle's back, and the female turtle will not be able to move. Entanglement, the female turtle is in love with the scene, and reaches the peak of estrus. At this time, the male turtle quickly inserts the splicer into the female turtle's cloaca to mate with it, and the time can reach several minutes.

The female turtle will enter the fertilization stage after adult sexual intercourse. In the early stage of fertilization, nothing can be observed with the naked eye. Before laying eggs, the food intake will decrease, and it is obviously not very active. This is the omen of labor. .

The peak egg-laying period of the golden turtle is around the Dragon Boat Festival every year, (if there is an intercalary month, it will be postponed by 20 days). The Vietnamese female turtle is healthy enough to start laying eggs in the early April of the lunar calendar. The fertilization rate of eggs laid 10 days before the beginning of autumn is less than 20%, and the fertilization rate of eggs laid after the beginning of autumn is less than 10%. Most of the parent turtles lay eggs in the evening. They conceive once a year, and each lays 1 to 11 eggs. The eggs are oblong, off-white, about 4 cm long and 2 cm wide, and the standard weight is 18 to 25 grams. The minimum weight is 13 grams, the maximum caesarean egg is 55 grams, and the female turtle's life is threatened if it weighs more than 30 grams.
