Answer by Jessica lopez. Confidence votes 5. Since I don't know exactly which species of turtle chose to lay her eggs,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.onfidence votes 5.

Insect and spider eggs may take a matter of days to hatch, but some insect eggs overwinter and may take over half a year to hatch. Birds' eggs may take around three to four weeks but even that is not consistent-the kiwi's egg has an incubation period of 70-80 days.The eggs of reptiles also vary.rocodiles' eggs, for example, take around 65 days to hatch, whereas tortoise eggs may take anywhere between 70 and 120 days to hatch, depending on the species. There are three species of mammals which lay eggs (monotremes, comprising the platypus, short-beaked echidna and long-beaked echidna).
