  1. Turn the lights off, light a few red candles, turn on some sensuous music and leave the room to give them a little privacy.  Just kidding. Here are some sites that should help you out!

  2. Reproduction: Breed on land anytime, but most successful in late summer. Nest in June. Females dig a cavity in the open and deposit 2 to 6 (avg. 4) eggs. Incubate approximately 60 to 70 days. Eggs hatch in August. Males mature in 8 to 9 years, females in 10 to 11 years. May live up to 100 years.

    I don't know if you can get them to do anything they don't want to do.
