The eggs are not fertilized since there is no male. Just collect them and throw them in the bin.

This is very serious. Remove the eggs from the the tank and lick them. If they taste like peanut butter its ok. Mush the eggs into a fine white paste for about 10 min. Put the paste over the turtles eyes so it cant see whats going on. Pick the turtle up and put it in a blender. Add milk sugar and lemon (no need to add peanut butter) Blend up the turtle with all the ingredients until blended up into a fine frothy milkshake like drink. Hope this helps :]

Most turtles lay eggs Often-ish, But if there is no male present while she is pregenant with the eggs, the eggs will be infertile, Just take them out and discard of them.

Turtles are not asexual so the egg part is very confusing. You might want to call an animal clinic.

The eggs are infertile. Discard them. If you want to get her a male, provide access to a container of barely moist potting soil or sand.

Don't worry, if there was no male, then they wont be fertilized. No babies inside them. Think of it as turtle periods. =]
