Simply love the distinct red marking. Waiting for the female to produce more eggs this coming season.

They start producing at the age of 3-4yrs old, and yes they are exactly the same terrapin as what u normally see in LFS.

Pls do not call me a master, i started this hobby only few years back.
Just enjoy breeding fishes and Res

Does enviroment affect breeding? See many keeping those normal terrapin for years but nvr heard ppl say their terrapin lay egg.. Possible to breed at home if keep in a tank? Do i need to decorate the tank to fit their habitat?

Cause mine are kept in ponds, only top view video might be taken.

Yes possible to breed them at home, most important is you need to have a proper setup. A basking area & nesting area with sands or soil is a must.
Also sufficient food and calcium supplement.

And once they are used to it, they will start laying multiple clutches of eggs every year.

Is a 5x2.5x2.5 ft tank big enough to keep a pair?
What type of filtration is better?
What lighting is suitable?
Will there be unpleasant smell due to bio load?
Lastly when is your next batch coming?
Sorry for asking so many question... Thanks
