I was lucky to see a Florida Soft-Shell Turtle laying eggs at a local pond in my Hillsborough neighborhood and I was wondering how long does it take to hatch? I want to be there and watch and make sure they get to the pond safely.

I inquired about the same thing not long ago. I was told that the eggs hatch after about 40 days. Other websites that I have looked at say that the eggs hatch after 2-3 months and/or in August or September. I live in Florida, so those months may be extended since we don’t really have winter.
I have never seen the baby turtles emerge from the nests, although I have seen many, many turtles lay the eggs. Any information that you find would be helpful!
