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.
