Just make sure the shell is intact and normal around the pelvis and cloaca. A deformed shell can sometimes impede egg passage. For example, if the pelvis was crushed, and healed, the injury is long gone but the girdle is decreased. I just wasn't sure as to how large of an injury you were talking about.

As to egg detection, you can sometimes feel cranial to the hind-legs with the turtle's front side raised. X-rays would be the definative method if need be.
