In the wild, they lay their eggs on land. In soil and leaf litter. In captivity however they don't always have access to an idea nesting site, especially if they're kept in a tank with a turtle dock as the only form of land for them. When that happens they'll either lay in the water (in which case the eggs will be useless) or worse they'll retain the eggs and that will cause further problems for the mother. If that happens you need to get them checked out by a vet, who will be able to give them an injection to make them lay, if that doesn't work the vet will probably have to operate.
If you need any more info, I can be reached through my website (see related link) I'm always happy to offer advice.
