Eggs are laid in burrows, which may be dug by either the mother or father, but only the mother will incubate the eggs & tend to the nest. Marsh crocodiles of all ages will dig and take shelter in burrows when temperatures drop below 41 degrees Fahrenheit or exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
The gender of hatchlings is determined by nest temperature. An all-female clutch is produced in temperatures of 82.4-87.8 degrees Fahrenheit, an all-male clutch may be produced in temperatures of 90.5 degrees Fahrenheit and above, and mixed gender clutches may be produced at temperatures of 88.7-91.4 degrees Fahrenheit. 
Until the age of 1 year, young marsh crocodiles are unable to defend themselves and will hide when they sense danger, relying on their mother to help defend them if they are discovered. Once the young ones turn 1, they become independent from their mother.
