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.
When hatching begins, small slits will be seen in the egg shells. The baby turtles have a small projection on the tip of the nose known as the egg tooth. This projection allows the hatchling to cut the tough shell in order to make his escape. Usually the hatchling process takes from twelve to forty-eight hours.
