Clutch size in turtles depends upon species. Usually larger species lay more eggs than smaller species, e.g. Sea turtles can lay 80-120 eggs in a clutch. Female turtles like to make their nest in sands. Females lay their eggs in the nest and then closes its opening.

Hatching of eggs takes place in the covered nests and very much dependent upon temperature. Hatching periods can be of 2-4.5 months depending upon species. Usually, average incubation period in turtles can be of 80-110 days.
