How do red-eared sliders lay eggs and what is the process involved?

Red-eared sliders lay eggs by digging a hole in the ground near water, usually in sandy or soft soil. The female turtle then lays a clutch of eggs in the hole, covers them with soil, and leaves them to incubate. The eggs hatch after about 60-90 days, and the baby turtles dig their way out of the nest and make their way to the water.
