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.
Hatching. 1  Sea turtles hatch throughout the year but mostly in summer. 2  Hatchlings use a carbuncle (temporary egg tooth) to help break open the shell. 3  After hatching, the young turtles may take three to seven days to dig their way to the surface.  Hatchlings usually wait until night to emerge from the nest.
