They can mate once and lay fertile eggs up to four years from that one mating. This helps to compensate for their inability to attract a mate. Females can lay up to three clutches of from two to ten eggs, depending on the species. Eastern box turtles will typically lay one clutch of of 2 to 6 eggs (younger females will lay fewer, older females more). The eggs typically incubate for 75 to 85 days at 75% to 85% humidity. Box turtles exhibit TSD (Temperature-dependent Sexual Determination). Eggs incubated at 71 ° F (22 ° C) produce males. Eggs incubated at 79 ° F (26 ° C) produce a mixed ratio of males and females and eggs incubated at 88 ° F (31 ° C) produce females.
