Females typically need 10 to 15 years to reach this size, while males take 8 to 12 years.<\/p>\n<p>Courtship begins in early April, with mating in May or June. In late June or early July, females build mound nests of soil, vegetation, or debris, where they lay an average of 32 to 46 eggs. Incubation lasts about 63 to 68 days, with hatching occurring from mid-August through early September.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/john-maclauchlan\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">John  MacLauchlan<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">John MacLauchlan is a digital content producer for CBS Miami.
