The native Polistes aurifer. (golden paper wasp) frequently. overwinters in attics of homes. The queens emerge during the. first warm days of spring (as. early as March and April), select. a nest site, and build a small. paper nest in which they lay.
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.
It takes around 80-85 days for red eared slider eggs to hatch. Keep your eyes open in about 2 and half months! According to Wikipedia the eggs of the Red Eared Slider take sixty to ninety days to hatch. Donât discard the eggshells immediately (hatchlings may spend the first few days in the egg shell). Avoiding moving the shell after it hatches, as any air that enters the turtles body can result in death.
