H shared in our Google Meet session that turtles, tortoises and terrapins are reptiles. Here are the main differences between them. The life cycle of the turtle, tortoise & terrapin are quite similar. The mother turtle digs a hole to lay her eggs. The eggs incubate for 60-80 days before hatching. It takes around two days for the hatchling to emerge fully from the egg shells. The yolk sac is absorbed through their belly over a period of 5-6 days.
