She could be digging while you're at school or she could be holding her eggs. Are you sure she has eggs? Has she already laid some? The way to know for sure is to get an x-ray.

Poke your fingers around in the dirt in her nesting box.

Is it far from the city or wherever the vet is at? I know it's hard but if she's holding the egg's in you'll have to go to a vet because if not she can die :(

There could possibly be eggs in the nesting box but the only way to know is to start digging around in it.

With turtle's you never know. Some hide their symptom's until it is too late. It doesnt matter if the egg crack's, it's not good to bring more RES into this world anyway.
