The number of turtle eggs laid at one time depends on the type and size of the turtle. Large turtles typically lay more eggs at once than do smaller ones. The number in a single clutch is usually from 5 to 30 eggs.

∙ 9y agoAs many as 90 percent of snapping turtle nests are destroyed before the eggs have a chance to hatch. The number of hatchlings that survive is unknown. Hatchlings are very vulnerable to predators as they make their way to the water and once in the water they may be eaten by fish or other turtles. Once they have grown a bit and their shells harden, they are much safer.
