Turtle behaviors

Only females nest and it occurs more often at night. When the turtle is having their kids, two or three eggs drop out at a time, with mucus. The average size of a clutch ranges from about 80 to 120 eggs, depending on the species. The eggs are flexible and they do not break as they fall into the chamber. The flexibility of this allows the female and the nest to hold more eggs.
