The incubation period for a tortoise egg is around 60 to 120 days. So, give or take 2 to 4 months. However they will not be able to care for and feed themselves for the first 3 to 7 days during which time they have an embryonic sack of nutrients from which they sustain themselves until they are sturdy enough to start moving.
