How old is she? Why are you worried that she may need to lay eggs? There's tons of info about nesting boxes on here, try doing a search for "gravid" or "nesting box". I'm not super knowledgeable about it because my turtle is a boy, but there are lots of people here with lady turtles. I'm sure they can provide you with additional advice.
