What if Shelby lays an egg overnight? If shee lays it in water but not in incubation? Leave her in the incubater overnight or no? I am just wondering about that.

If she lays it in the water, you need to remove the egg and put it in an incubator. Eggs laid in the water that have been there for a few hours can still be hatched. About the turtle. It should be put back in the water over night. You mean nesting area not incubator I hope, your not sticking the turtle in an incubator ._.?
