Turtle eggs

[Miss_Magickal]

Just a quick question.............it has probably been asked before.........can a female long necked turtle lay eggs if she hasnt been fertilised by a male............if not how long does it take for an egg to hatch and how should they be incubated..............

many thanks

I'm sure they can lay infertile eggs (don't quote me though), otherwise my info says incubation should be 28 deg and hatching expected at around 2 - 3 months.

Supposedly they can store sperm. look for Expansa's post with pics of his eggs. it will show what healthy fertile eggs look like at some stages. If you cant find it go to the link below and ask there.
