To incubate is to lay eggs. Sea turtles lay 50 to 100 eggs by clutch . They mostly nest in the seashore of Africa and Orissa. They lay 1 to 9 clutches per year.
The embryo's development is possible only in temperatures between 28 to 32°C. If they not suit to the climat, we should incubate them artificially.
Incubation time is 45 to 70 days. When the embryo develops, it may depend on the temperature. Higher temperature produce more females and lower temperature produce more males.
At last the new sea turtles are ready to hatch (mostly in summer).
