my daughter found 2 baby painted turtles so I've been reading up on them. What I have read on mating and laying eggs so far is the female turtle is 4 to 5 years and male 3 -5 years for mating.

Female turtles typically lay eggs when they are between 15 and 20 years old.
no, female turtles crawl up onto the shore and dig holes to lay their eggs. and when the eggs hatch, the baby turtles crawl down the beach into the water
They lay eggs.
Female turtles lay eggs after mating with male turtles. The male turtle fertilizes the eggs inside the female's body before she lays them in a nest on land. The eggs hatch after a certain period of time, and baby turtles emerge from the eggs ready to start their lives.
no male sea turtles can also lay eggs when they are mid-aged.
All turtles need to have mated in order to lay eggs, unlike birds who will lay infertile eggs, turtles won't.
Only female turtles can lay eggs.
