}Eggs of the common snapping turtle, Chelydra serpentina serpentina were incubated at 30°C and at 20°C. The incubation period at the higher temperature was about 63 days. At the lower temperature, the period was estimated to be 140 days. Lengths of the embryos at various times of development were recorded. A series of 26 stages is described. The staging is based on timed intervals at a constant temperature, 20°C.

A 27-stage scheme for Trachemys scripta, the largest family of turtles, is presented because the earliest stages of development are comparable across all turtle taxa and only the latter portion of development is emphasized.

Effects of Temperature on Sex Determination in Embryos of the Snapping Turtle, Chelydra serpentina
- Biology, Environmental Science
- 1983
Temperature-dependent sex determination was studied in eggs of snapping turtles in both the laboratory and field, finding in the laboratory that exposure to at least 4 h/day at 30?C ensured female development, but shorter exposures resulted in some males (if a male-determining temper- ature was used over the remaining interval).
Temperature levels and periods of sex determination during incubation of eggs of Chelydra serpentina
- Biology, MedicineJournal of morphology

Eggs of Chelydra serpentina were shifted during incubation between the female producing temperatures of 20°C or 30°C and the male producing temperature of 26°C, and the stages during which incubation temperature determined sex were stage 14 through stage 16.

Nineteen embryonic stages of the Green Turtle, Chelonia mydas (Linnaeus, 1758), were described between day 6 and hatching (52 days), and the pipping stage lasted over 30 hours, with the embryo leaving the egg afterwards.

The whole embryonic development of Mauremys japonica was divided into 26 stages on the basis of morphological criteria previously proposed for Chelydra serpentina to describe morphological changes observed throughout the embryonic development.
Twinning in the common snapping turtle, Chelydra serpentina

Twinning or duplication was observed in 28 eggs of the common snapping turtle, Chelydra serpentina serpentina, and the pigmentation patterns of the carapace of these twins differed indicates that they are fraternal rather than identical twins.
