She lays 10–25 or more eggs in one or more clutches. Eggs are ellipsoidal, approximately 1.5 inches (4 cm) long. Incubation time is determined by temperature, but averages 90–100 days.

    These eggs have a leathery, flexible shell and they typically measure only 26-28 mm in diameter. [24] Incubation time is temperature-dependent, ranging from 9 to 18 weeks.
