Hello from Kelly at Think Turtle Conservation Initiative
Turtle nesting season typically begins mid-May and runs through to mid-July, with June being the peak month for nesting. Most turtle species lay eggs annually. Blanding’s turtle have been known to sometimes lay eggs every other year. For a female snapping turtle depending on when she mated, egg-laying may extend into autumn.
The following is information that will be helpful to know about turtle nesting and identifying a turtle nest on your property or public property. We have set up this resource so you can easily read just the subject matter that interests you or read the information in its entirety. It is our hope you find this resource useful and informative this turtle season and thereafter.
