A turtle without access to a proper nest will sometimes lay eggs in water rather than hold the eggs in her body and become egg-bound. These eggs are often infertile due to being held into the body too long with conditions such as over calcification. There are also a couple rarer exotic species that are thought to lay their eggs underwater during the flood season, the eggs stay in diapause (paused development) until the flood recedes and the nest dries out.
