A baby box turtle during its first moments of life breaks free of its shell at @theomahazoo. For most turtles, the sex of the hatchling depends on the temperature of the egg. If the egg was incubated at a warmer temperature, the turtle will be born female. At cooler temperatures they will be born male. Box turtle eggs are slightly flexible and hatchlings like this one can take up to 3 days to fully emerge after they begin the process of hatching. Box turtles have many natural predators, so unfortunately most hatchlings don’t survive in the wild past their first winter. However, if they do, they live an average of 50 years-- many of them making it to over 100!
