Im from britain and there has been typical wet, windy and cold weather. The tortoises stay outdoors as we dont have an indoor place for them but does this mean that if she DID have eggs they will be dead by now?

A female tort has been shown to hold onto sperm for a long time, maybe years before using it to fertilise eggs just before she lays them.
The eggs don't get fertilised until just before they are laid....
They don't die inside the tortoise. If she lays in the ground and you don't find them quickly enough to put in an incubator, then they may not hatch.
Does that make sense?
