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.
How long does it take turtle eggs to hatch? We saw a turtle get hit by a car so we picked her up and took her home. We don't know what kind of turtle she was (green with yellow stripes). However, she was too injured to be saved but she had eggs that looked llike she was about to lay. We were able to retrieve 7 out of 8 eggs. We took a storage container filled with sand and buried each egg about 3 iinches. Approx. how long will it take the eggs to hatch ?
