These eggs laying questions got me wondering..
Will female turtles lay eggs regardless if there is a male around? I know some birds lay eggs will anyways and some don't. So now I'm curious. Plus I'm pretty sure mine are all female

Yes, they can become gravid even when alone.

There's a video from DB4L on how to feel for eggs. Theses are the main symptoms of a gravid girl:
1-urgently trying to get out of the tank, possibly ignoring you (sometimes at the same time of day)
2-digging/kicking with hind legs
3-lack of appetite
4-excessive basking
#1 and 2 are your best indicators.
