Once the female is ready to lay eggs, her abdomen will be swollen and you can actually feel the eggs if you just lightly press the area under her shell near her back legs. They lay eggs in sand out of the water so she should have a ramp from the water into a sand box that she can lay eggs in. If she holds them in to keep from laying eggs in water, they may break and poison her. They won't lay eggs in the water so the most essential thing is to have the sand box and a way for her to come in and out of the water.
