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.
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 ?
