Complex Turtle behaviors
Java developers recently confirmed in this article some complex turtle behaviors, such as turtles having a home beach. It also mentions turtle eggs hatching faster at night (possibly?). -EatingSilencerforBreakfast (talk) 19:57, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I went to find out why a bunch of turtle eggs I've been protecting wouldn't hatch, resorted to accelerating the game ticks at one point which did work but I don't like doing that, and I found mention that night time naturally decreases the time they take to hatch. I've been building an outpost near the beach, so I kept sleeping the instant I could to spare myself the trouble of keeping a vigil. It feels like noting the need for night exposure should be in the article so that other people don't have to find out through other sources. --98.114.149.132 02:12, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I should also note that they tend to progress or hatch close to dawn in my experience. --98.114.149.132 00:37, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, the current version does say the three stages a turtle egg goes through are incremented at random, but it would be good to have an idea of the range of time to expect. Seems to be at least 3 nights from my experience. Amatulic (talk) 22:52, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I also seem to remember reading (elsewhere?) that they require exposure to night sky. I've been trying to protect them lately using Glass-above, and wondering if it's Blocking too much(?) Light, total, and /or it has to be unobstructed, anyway.  Yilante 11 /9 /18  2:19 pm 76.209.248.192 22:20, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * It's easy enough to test in creative. On a sand beach, build a little gazebo with a roof, place some eggs inside and some eggs outside the gazebo, wait about 5 day/night cycles, and see if only the outdoor ones hatch. ~Amatulić (talk) 00:31, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I got a Baby Turtle to Hatch (under Glass), but still no Eggs (in many day /night cycles) have Hatched in the Solid Block covered (sky - sun /day and /or moon /night - Light, Blocked) areas. Glad I went with the decorative Glass everywhere possible.  Yilante 11 /10 /18  5:40 p.m. 76.209.248.192 01:41, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Good to know. I added a sentence to the turtle egg article about this. ~Amatulić (talk) 07:55, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

How long between matings?
When two turtles are fed seagrass and then mate, and one of them lays eggs, how long before the same two turtles can mate again? I've experienced some odd behavior in which one of the turtles just won't accept any more seagrass and just hangs around. Amatulic (talk) 22:52, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
