Turtles are not fish. The eggs are fertilized when the turtles mate, if a female lays eggs before mating then the eggs will be unfertilized and will never get fertilized.
Female turtles rely on instinct to lay their eggs in a suitable location and then move on to ensure their own survival. They do not have a nurturing instinct to care for their offspring once the eggs are laid. It is more beneficial for them to focus on their own survival rather than expending energy on caring for the eggs.
