No, turtles don't mate for life. In fact, turtles instinctively survive on their own all their lives, pairing only to reproduce but after the deed is done, the male leaves while the female lays her eggs on land, buries them in the sand, and then leaves them. No such bond or companionship exists in wild turtles.
Are turtles born in eggs?
Turtles lay eggs and therefore they 'hatch'. Turtles mate at sea and when the eggs are ready to be laid, the female comes ashore and digs a shallow nest in warm sand near the shore. She then returns to the water and never returns to the nest. After incubation the baby turtles hatch, scramble up out of the nest sand and make their way into the water.
