Sea turtles are returning to Florida’s beaches, and beachfront communities and visitors can help make it a successful nesting season by reducing or managing lights on and along the beach. Sea turtles are more likely to come ashore to nest on dark beaches. Both hatchlings and nesting females are more likely to successfully find their way back to the ocean on a dark beach free of disturbance. Artificial lights can alter the natural visual cues sea turtles use to locate the water, such as the darke

We had an informative and fun public nest dig yesterday in the Archie Carr Refuge. The hatching success of the nest was 74% and we released several hatchlings to the ocean. If you are interested in our public nest digs, check back here on Monday to see if we identified nests for the 8/28 nest dig.

Have you seen a box turtle digging lately? It’s that time of year! Box turtles dig holes and deposit eggs. They dig with their hind feet, as you can see here. Once they have laid their eggs, they leave them on their own to hatch. These turtles typically lay eggs once a year, and lay only 2 to 8 eggs per clutch.

Spiny softshell turtles lay their eggs in flask-shaped burrows, typically on sandbars or in loose soil near water sources like rivers, lakes, and impoundments. The nesting process usually occurs in the summer months, with females emerging from the water to dig their nests. They lay a clutch of hard-shelled eggs, with the number varying by individual and species. After laying, the female covers the nest and leaves the eggs to incubate, with hatching typically occurring in late summer or early fal

Please keep an eye out for nesting turtles 🐢 Our female South-Western Long-necked Turtles have started their nesting season - and this week's low pressure system has led to an increase in activity, as females leave their wetland to look for somewhere safe to lay their eggs. During the first nesting season (Sep-Nov), they will generally lay around 8 eggs, with another 4 laid in the second nesting season (Dec-Jan). If they are able to avoid predators, cars, people, fences and other threats and fi

#HeadsUp, it’s turtle nesting season 🐢 From November to January, mama turtles emerge from the waves on to the beach of their birth. It takes almost three hours to dig her nest, lay her eggs and cover them safely.

The speed and incredible care mother long necked turtles take to compact their nests after laying is amazing . They use their carapace / shell to body slam and compact the dirt over their eggs and use their little legs in a breaststroke motion to drag dirt into the hole . I always think this is the cutest part of the egg laying / nest building process as you watch their cute little saggy butts hard at it and their skill means they leave the area looking undisturbed , like she has never been ther

It’s that time of the year where you will see snapping turtles all over the place. Golf courses, roads, your backyard… pretty much everywhere! Notice all the eggs shells… many eggs never even hatch due to predators and even less make it to adulthood. Roughly only 1 in every 1,000 turtles make it from egg to adult. Snapping turtle eggs are small, white, and perfectly round. Around 20 to 40 eggs can be laid at once and are typically laid in May and June, laying 20-80 eggs. To counteract predation

Wrapping up nesting season here in Oman! 🐢🌊 From May to August, green turtles (Chelonia mydas) make their way across oceans to our shores. Named for the greenish hue of their fat, not their shell, these majestic travellers are a marvel of nature. ✨ They come ashore under the cover of darkness to dig nests in the sand, laying between 50 - 200 eggs. The nests are then carefully camouflaged by the mama turtles, before they return to the sea. In about 60 days, the nest hatches, and little turtle h
