Turtles, like many other animals, lay so many eggs at one time for many reasons. For example, not all turtles make it out of the egg; some never hatch. The biggest reason, however, is because baby turtles are slow and small, and are often eaten by birds and large carnivorous fish. Unfortunately for the cute baby turtles, most of them get eaten up!
they have so much babies because there are so much predators in this world. so some of the babies cant make it to the ocean. that is why turtle moms make so much babies.
predator wants babies to EAT THEM.
Tortoises lay alot of eggs as many of the eggs are eaten by predators such as humans.
because so many of them get eaten by preditors * edit** This may be right, but you are still missing the biggest mystery. They are so fat all they do is drown in the water.

Box turtles lay 2-6, sometimes 8 eggs at one time. They bury them and a few weeks later they hatch and dig to the surface.
Turtles usually lay about 100 or more eggs each time. However, not all of these babies will survive into adulthood. In most cases, only one turtle will survive.
The main reason why they do that is because not many turtles survive in the wild. So the female turtle must lay a lot of eggs at a time to make sure that even though most of the turtles will not survive in the wild, some will survive.
