Best Answer

Once the eggs have been laid the mother covers them with sand to conceal the nest. The warm sand acts as an incubator. Incubation periods can vary depending on the area of beach where the eggs have been laid. Average time for incubation is two months. The mother turtle's safety is at risk when she leaves the ocean to nest.
