Question - My dad saw a snapper turtle lay eggs. I'm wondering how
long it will take them to hatch.(They were laid 5 days ago)
---------------------------------------
There is no fixed time for hatching of turtle eggs, it depends on
temperature and other environmental conditions. From one to three months may
be needed.
