Leopard Tortoise nesting behavior and X-rays

Hi there, I posted this in the breeding section but did not get much response. I can delete if not allowed.

Last week I noticed my leopard tortoise digging and straining. I was concerned about egg binding and took her to the vet for X-rays. They show that there are six eggs, are located in located in the middle of the body cavity, nothing appears jammed in the pelvis. Two of the eggs have thicker shells than the others.
For some background. Binky 13 years old, 10.9 lbs. I also have a male they are housed separately but there was a “jail break” last summer so it is possible that the eggs ar fertile. Her enclosure is roughly 5x7 feet, warm hide at 85F cool hide at 72F, ambient room temp 66F. UVB basking spot 85F. She had an area of 4” deep soil substrate but now that I see eggs I have increased it to 10”. We do daily warm soaks. She is active, walking tall, eating and drinking, but has been getting a bit snotty.
She had a clutch of eggs a few years ago, I did not incubate them. She has also dropped the occasional single egg.
I will be talking to vet again early next week, for more x-rays if needed, but will call sooner if she goes downhill.
So after all that... Is there anything else I can do?
What should I be looking for?
How long does it usually take between the start of nesting behaviour and laying?
In your experience is it better to be conservative or aggressive with induction?
I may be getting ahead of myself, but is there any point to trying to incubate these eggs if they come out intact?

Thanks everyone, I am happy to answer any questions.

Not an expert on nesting behaviours, but I’d recommend increasing her calcium intake to help relax abdominal muscles (Helps with birds and egg binding, not so sure about tortoises but additional calcium won’t hurt).

I’d personally say, if there’s a chance on them being fertile at all, try incubating them for a month or two, and then shine a light through an egg, if you see veins of any sort, they are fertile. That all depends on whether you are able to incubate them for the length of time they need before hatching (They have a long incubation period).

If she is still walking around fine, and eating normal. I don't think you need to intervene. I would work on your nesting area. Make spots of different types of soil, different moisture content, and deferent temperatures. Give her options with gradients.

Thanks for the advice. I will work on her nesting sites and bump up her calcium. I guess it’s just a game of wait and see.
