Best Answer

Hatchling turtles break out of their eggs by the use of an egg tooth. The egg tooth is a very sharp, small, white tooth on the tip of the turtles beak. It is the only tooth that the turtle will ever have. The baby will break a hole though the tough egg wall and then rest for a bit. Soon the baby will be back at the job and will use the egg tooth to cut though the egg enough to crawl out. Or he might break open the egg and then choose to sit in his egg for a couple days before finally coming out. Once the baby has broken through the egg wall the egg tooth pops off.

I don't know how they are. Go outside and find a baby lizard, and ask "How are you doing?" :)
