A turtles life span can be described in five stages. The first stage is the egg stage. A female turtle will dig a hole and lay her eggs in the hole. Depending on the species of turtles the eggs could be spherical or oblong, and soft and leathery like to touch. The temperature that the eggs are kept in the nest will have a great impact on the sex of the hatchlings. The lower temperatures tend to hatch male turtles, where as hot temperatures in the nest hatch female turtles. Again depending on the species of turtle the incubation period can be between two weeks to three months. The next stage in life is the hatchling stage. This stage is where they actually hatch from the eggs. This is the most dangerous time in a turtles life. They are very susceptible to being eaten by other animals. Yearling is the next stage and is said to be this until it is two years old. Sub-adult is the next stage. This stage is what is known as a juvenile age. Then naturally the last stage is the adult stage. This is where the turtle has reached sexual maturity.
