What do you mean egg laying season? Time of year/age?I didn't quite understand your second post, are you saying she was with some males before you got her back in August? If so, then there could be a chance that the eggs are fertile.
In my experience it is not normal for a female to lay so many eggs on top of the ground instead of digging a nest. When egg laying season starts, I will usually find one laying on the ground from a young female or one that is new to me. After that they usually start to dig nests.
It would be difficult to nail down exactly why she may be dropping the eggs on the ground instead of digging a nest. My first thought is that she is young and possibly her instincts haven't quite kicked in yet. It could be stress related as well. Do you house her with any other tortoises?
