Do box turtels uaually lay their eggs in water or on land?

Question:We have a box turtle that was in our little pool and it layed eggs and I didn't know if that was normal.

Answers:
Do you provide it with soil? normally they lay their eggs on land. and they also need a way to get out of the water so their shells don't get spongy.

Its unusual that a box turtle would have laid in water. Box turtles are terrestrial, and to my knowledge, even aquatic turtles, from the mud turtles, to the mighty sea tortoises lay on land.
