What are the disinfection methods for sand used in turtle and soft-shelled turtle incubation
In recent years, with the rise of artificial turtle and soft-shelled turtle farming, how to increase the hatching rate of turtle and soft-shelled turtle eggs and hatchlings has become an urgent matter. Because some turtle and soft-shelled turtle farms still use the traditional old method, using untreated sand as the carrier for incubating eggs, they do not realize that untreated sand contains a large number of pathogens and pests, which often contaminates and ruins the eggs during incubation, and some farms fail because of this. In my 21 years of turtle and soft-shelled turtle farming practice, I have worked out methods for disinfecting sand and improved the hatching rate. Now I will introduce several very practical disinfection methods

How to Prevent Sand-Shelled and Soft-Shelled Eggs in Three-Lined Box Turtles
Three-lined box turtles mate and fertilize in March-April each year, and lay and incubate eggs from May to July. A single sexually mature female turtle lays 3-9 eggs per year; the three-lined box turtle has a relatively low egg production among turtles. Improper feeding and management or the influence of other factors can also cause some three-lined box turtles to lay 1-2 eggs, or even a whole clutch, of sand-shelled eggs (with a sandy, non-smooth shell surface) or soft-shelled eggs, affecting the hatch rate and causing certain economic losses to three-lined box turtle farming. 1 Causes of three-lined box turtles laying sand-shelled or soft-shelled eggs a) Lack of eggshell-producing
