How do turtles carry their babies?

In general, turtles lay their first clutch of eggs about three to six weeks after mating. The turtle uses her hind legs to dig a nest and when it is ready she deposits the eggs. Bigger turtles tend to lay bigger eggs and more eggs per clutch. Once the turtle deposits her eggs, her job as a mother is essentially done.
