Red-Eared Slider acting differently..

She has been digging the rocks out of the furthest corner and sitting in the "nest" only coming up for air..Raph, my other RES, has been "guarding" her, I guess you could say. She's been sitting/swimming over her for a while now. And every time I walk up to the aquarium, she hisses at me..

is it a male and a female? She could possibly be wanting to lay eggs...i'm not sure if a RES will lay in the water...maybe if there is no dry lay available? Just a suggestion...never had this happen, though for some reason i have rescued more male RES's than girls.
