Burmese tortoises mature sexually for more than 7 years at natural temperatures. Mating usually begins in May, with July-August being the peak season. When the male turtle is in heat, he follows the female turtle, when the female turtle stops, the male turtle climbs to the front of the female turtle, stretches his head and neck, constantly moves up and down, and touches the female turtle's head with his mouth from time to time to stop the female turtle from crawling. When the female turtle stops crawling, the male turtle promptly walks around the female's back, climbs on the back armor, and copulates.
Burmese tortoises dig holes to lay their eggs in the wild, preferring to lay their eggs in a more sheltered place under trees with higher humidity. The egg pit is about 10 cm deep, and the upper layer of the eggs is loose soil with high humidity, which is covered with dead branches and leaves for hiding. Eggs are laid from May to October every year, 1-2 times a year, 1-6 eggs each time. The eggs are white, round or oval, and hatch for about 60 days under artificial conditions.
