The invention discloses a basal layer of a soft-shelled turtle incubator, and relates to the technical field of aquaculture. The basal layer comprises the incubator used for incubating soft-shelled turtles and is characterized in that a basal layer body is laid at the bottom of the interior of the incubator and comprises a cobblestone layer at the bottommost, a saw dust layer is laid on the cobblestone layer, an incubation sand layer is laid at the upper portion of the saw dust layer, a covering layer is laid at the upper portion of the incubation sand layer, soft-shelled turtle eggs are embedded in the incubation sand layer, the upper ends of the soft-shelled turtle eggs are flush with the upper end of the incubation sand layer, the covering layer is a river sand layer, and a constant-temperature heater is arranged between the saw dust layer and the incubation sand layer. According to the basal layer, due to the control over the incubation temperature, the humidity of the incubator and the humidity of incubation sand, the incubation rate of the male soft-shelled turtles is 100%, and the incubation cost is reduced; operation is easy and convenient, control is easy, the male rate is high, the incubated soft-shelled turtle survival rate is high, the temperature in the incubator is convenient to control, and the air permeability is good.
