Box turtles lay 2-6, sometimes 8 eggs at one time. They bury them and a few weeks later they hatch and dig to the surface.
box turtles eggs are about a few centimeters long and wide.
A sea turtle can have over 100 eggs in once. But it is a little different with pet turtles. Pet turtles can have up to 5 or 8 eggs(Or maybe eggs up to 10). Box turtles can have 4, 3,or 2 eggs in once.
Videos of box turtles laying eggs typically showcase the turtles digging a nest in soft soil, where they deposit their eggs. The process can take several hours, during which the female carefully covers the eggs with dirt to protect them. These videos highlight the fascinating reproductive behavior of box turtles and provide insight into their natural habitat. Such footage can also raise awareness about the conservation of these reptiles and their nesting needs.
Absolutely NOT.
Well I have an Eastern Box turtle that laid 3 eggs. But they can lay up to 6. But usually have 3 eggs.
No, she cares less about the babies. She will even eat them when they hatch. That is why we separate baby turtles from adult turtles...even before they are born.

Yes, box turtles are egg layers. Female box turtles typically lay eggs in nests dug into the ground during the warmer months, usually between late spring and early summer. The number of eggs can vary, but they usually lay between 3 to 8 eggs per clutch. After laying, the eggs incubate in the soil for about 60 to 90 days before hatching.
I have two females. The lay eggs about two times a year
