Musk turtle eggs hatch in about 60 to 80 days; exact time varies with environment but they usually hatch within 80 days. The best incubation temperature is about 28 degrees C, and lower temperatures lengthen the time. To hatch successfully, keep humidity and temperature suitable. Note that unfertilized eggs cannot hatch; the owner can tell by the presence of a white sperm spot..
