The breeding ecology of Cuora trifasciata was studied in a cultivating site. The results showed that the clutch frequency is one, the average clutch size is 3.6. The size of fertilized egg is 48.00±2.63 mm×26.42±1.66 mm. The size of unfertilized egg is 44.35±4.36 mm×25.39±2.71 mm. The weight of fertilized egg is 23.89±3.34g and the weight of unfertilized egg is 20.39±4.96g. The fertilization rate is 50.9% and the hatching rate is 83.3%. The average incubation stage was 88 d and the accumulated temperature for hatching was 59.581℃·h. The Carapace length, carapace width and weight of body are 44.83±2.41 mm,36.90±1.86 mm and 15.85±2.07 g respectively in hatchings.
