Breeding turtles with eggs (ovipar). A number of multiple items (on tortoises) by more than one hundred eggs (in some species of sea turtles) lay eggs laid each time, usually on a sand pit on the river or sea, to be stockpiled and allowed to hatch with the help of the sun's heat. Turtle eggs hatch after about two months (50-70 days) are stored in the sand.
The sex of a turtle that children born to one of them will be determined by the temperature of the sand where the eggs are stored. In most species of turtles, the temperature is above the average practice will result in female animals. And conversely, the temperature below the average tend to produce many male animals.
