Ex situ Annual Egg—Laying Cycles of Rhinoclemmys melanosterna, R. diademata and their Hybrids (Reptilia: Testudines: Emydidae: Batagurinae)

R. melanosterna, R. diademata and their hybrids (R. melanosterna x R. diademata) present annual continuous egg-laying cycles with maximum frequency during the rainy season. The period of maximal annual egg-laying for hybrid R. melanosterna x R. diademata is earlier than its parents. Aparently there is not direct relation between the ad libitum food offer and Rhinoclemmys sp egg-laying cycles.
