She was supposed to lay around January but hasn’t showed any signs and is spending a lot of time in the water. Do you think this is egg yolk in her poo. Any ideas on what I should do?

Density and slimness of it suggests the tortoise needs more water to drink. If you think she is egg bound, I think only way to confirm that is to xray her at the vet.
