Incubation period is usually between two and four months. Thing is that the higher, steady temperatures don't usually result in shorter incubation times.
Snapping turtles are among those which exhibit TDSD: temperature-dependent sex determination. Incubation temperatures <20 C or >30 C tend to produce females, while temps in the 22-28 range end to produce more males, with the narrow bands of 21-22 C and 29-30 C producing a fairly evenly distributed mix.
