How long does it take turtle eggs to hatch once the female turtle has buried them?

Similar questions: long turtle eggs hatch female buried.

Depends on the turtle box turtles are 9-10 weeks, painted turtles 2-3 months, we have an Eastern Painted turtle that laid eggs in our yard that we are looking for in 53 days (Sept 13). I went to Google and used the search terms: "turtle, gestation period" and got plenty of information (even though one smart alec told me it was 'incubation' for eggs and not 'gestation'. Anyway, key out your turtle first and there is plenty of information available.Regards.

Box turtle- in the south, 70 days, in north, 90-120 days, august is a typical time to look another site says pretty much the same, August is a typical time:"The length of incubation (or amount of time it takes for eggs to hatch) depends a lot on weather conditions. Temperature, humidity, rainfall, and other factors influence incubation. Generally, land turtle incubation ranges from 45-90 days (I know that's a long time to wait when you want to see baby turtles!).

The time Since I don't know exactly which species of turtle chose to lay her eggs in your yard, these answers will be very general. If you remember what she looked like, you may be able to get more specific information from the library or from the web sites I've listed at the end of this message. The length of incubation (or amount of time it takes for eggs to hatch) depends a lot on weather conditions.

Temperature, humidity, rainfall, and other factors influence incubation. Generally, land turtle incubation ranges from 45-90 days (I know that's a long time to wait when you want to see baby turtles! ).

I suggest you start checking on the nest every couple days starting at the six week point. I wouldn't expect to see any babies until August at the earliest. As far as protecting the nest, turtle moms usually choose their nest sites carefully.

Unless you think the eggs are in danger, just leave them where they are. If you have a dog, don't let him or her get close enough to the nest to dig it up. Raccoons and opossums also like to eat turtle eggs, so that might be a problem as well.

Even though it's hard, I would recommend you just let nature run its course, and hope you get a chance to see the babies when they emerge. You can get more specific information on several web sites: geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/3550/list... This site shows pictures of different turtles so you can determine which species came to your yard. Then you can read more about hatching time, habitat, and behavior of all kinds of turtles.

kingsnake.com/forum/turtle This site is mainly used by people who keep turtles and tortoises as pets. You can learn more about hatching and feeding turtles, and talk to other kids who have been lucky enough to have turtle visitors. geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/5314/book... A great site for books on turtles and tortoises.

Or visit your library. Have fun, and don't worry about the hatchlings once they emerge. They know how to find food and a good place to live.

HOW DO I TELL A MALE TURTLE FROM A FEMALE TURTLE.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
