How Painted Turtle Laying Eggs And Hatching

Turtles lay their eggs on land, usually by digging a hole in dirt or sand and then covering the nest.
After the eggs (2 to 11, but typically 5 to 6) are deposited, they are covered with layers of soil and left to develop on their own. Females may lay 2 clutches per year. The incubation period is 72 to 80 days.

I just dug up a clutch of 11, incubating them, might keep one as a pet and release the rest in the spring. Cheers!

I just watched the same Mama turtle come up the hill and dig 2 holes. There j-shaped and I don't see eggs and she didn't feel them in it's possible they're back there. How long is the gestation period will they hacked next spring or will I be able to see them hatch in a few weeks? I've got a ,a few kids that look for her every spring. She's got a weird v-shaped chip so she's easy to identify versus other turtles that come up on the hill
