Fresh water turtles lay their eggs once per year - springtime. They look for sandy soil that is easy to dig. They dig a hole and bury the eggs. For their nests they seek the ground above high water level. They do this so the eggs won't drown if high water. They do not tend their nests. Putting them back into the water does not accomplish their goal. They will try again to seek the dry environment to lay the eggs.
