eggs

Question
My turtle is laying eggs she is in 1/2 small gravel and 1/2 water. She has buried some of them in the gravel and some of them are exposed in a log that had a hole in. I don't know how she hit hole but you can see them. What should I do?  Should I put them in a incubator or move them or just let nature take its course. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  She is in the tank with the other turtles but they don't seem to be bothering the eggs.

Answer
Dang. I HATE to admit that I am not sure of the best plan in situations like this.

I would suggest you post this on a good forum such as http://www.turtleforum.com where several experienced keepers can chime in- surely one of them has been in a similar situation!
