The female painted turtle covers the eggs with dirt and returns to the water, her job done. The eggs hatch in 72 days, usually in late August through early September. The baby turtles instinctively head straight for the water. Late hatchers may stay in the nest until spring.
Right now, the data show that turtles in the south hatch out quicker - about 70 days, and in the north a bit slower - around 90-120 days, if they don't overwinter in the nest. Click here to see what happened to the hatchlings pictured above..... Return to Box Turtle Observation Home Page.
