Can a lone turtle lay eggs if kept separated for 4 months?
Your question is some what unclear but I will try my best to answer it. A female turtle doesn't have to mate to lay eggs. So even a lone female turtle may lay unfertilized eggs. If an adult male and female turtle are kept together then they will mate. If the female doesn't have sand or dirt to lay her eggs in then she may lay her eggs in the water or on whatever land possible. If you know your turtle is pregnant and put her in an separate enclosure for 4 months then yes she probably will lay eggs in there.
How does an egg shell keep a baby turtle safe?
It is not so much the shell that keeps a baby turtle safe. The mama turtle impacts sand tightly around the eggs which protect the eggs. The eggs themselves are soft and fragile.
Why did your female turtle lay eggs with no male present?
Female turtles will always lay eggs once they reach sexual maturity, with or without mating with a male. The only difference is that unless the female turtle has mated, the eggs will not be fertile, therefore they will not hatch. They will only hatch if they are fertile as a result of mating. If you have only just bought your turtle, you should consider keeping the eggs in incubation just in case she came in contact with a male and mated before you bought her. In summary, your female turtle has reached sexual maturity and will begin to lay infertile, dud eggs that will not hatch, unless she has mated with a male turtle.
