It is really hard to tell just by how she looks. If you really focus, you can notice the back of her shell is wider then usual. The best way to really know is after she has mated, she will spend alot of time basking and being inactive. She also will eat less then usual, but make sure you encorage her to eat. Using treats like live earth worms and feeder fish helps. She'll also wants to be alone so it is very important you separate the male away from her until she lays the eggs. You should only touch her when you have to. You also need to keep the water very clean and warm. Make 5 inches of soil in the tank's land area so she can lay the eggs. She'll be doing alot of digging and sniffing in the last 2 weeks before she lays the eggs. She'll hold them for about 80 days. She can lay from 2 to 25 eggs!

∙ 16y agoTurtles don't become pregnant. They lay eggs. Who ever gave that answer doesnt know the fact that the female will still hold the eggs for up to 2 months before she is ready to lay them. Then after she lays them it can take up to another 3 months for them to hatch. I found this page looking for a way to tell if shes holding eggs... This was no help...... I already knew they laid eggs.

∙ 15y agoa RES will lay its eggs it soil 3-5 inches deep when it has that opportunity it will lay a dozen or soo eggs, if you have the recommended amount for your female res she will lay her eggs
the eggs are very vulnerable and can be damaged easily so u need to take your time when feeling around for them.
you will need to check them often for mold which can rapidly spread to the others and also check for dead eggs that will rot and effect the others. number them on the top of the shell and make sure u put them in the same order as they were when you took them out and with the number on the top make sure u put them the rite way up
A red eared slider will spend alot of time browsing out of the water and looking for an ideal place to lay her eggs make sure you have the deep soil provided.
