Eastern Box Turtle Nesting

June 27, 2016 • Leave a Comment

Just about one month after the first box turtle sighting of the season, a female known as Chip started digging her nesting site in the same location that she has selected repeatedly. I have been observing Chip and a number of other box turtles for nine years. If all goes well and the eggs aren't destroyed by predators, the hatchlings will dig themselves out in about 60-65 days.
