There are two varieties of turtle commonly referred to as snapping turtles, the alligator snapping turtle and the common snapping turtle. Alligator snapping turtle eggs hatch in 100-140 days. Common snapping turtles take between 9-18 weeks to hatch depending on the temperature of the nest.

Temperature has a lot to do with when snapping turtle eggs will hatch. 80 to 90 days is the average in the wild. Although if it is hot outside it can take only 60. Eggs in captivity have a range of 60 to 80 days.
