AnswerHi Shiv, The incubation time varies with the temperature. As a general rule most water turtles take 2 - 3 months (60 - 90 days) to hatch if the incubation temperature is around 29 or 30 C. The time to hatching can be a bit longer at slightly lower temperatures and shorter if the temp. slightly higher. Tortoises tend to take a bit longer, around 3 - 5 months. These are very general estimates and can vary by several days on either end depending on the species and temperature fluctuations as well.
