I have a female RES turtle [spoiler] around 1yr old I think [/spoiler] and i'm worried she has eggs. Not fertile ones from mating because no male but she keeps swimming at the edges of her tank faster than usual and i'm getting worried if she gets egg binding I can't afford to take her to the vet ;-; pic is from google images.

I had a bearded dragon with under talipes eggs she needed to lay so I put her on crushed walnut shell 'sand' so she could pass them. Google where your res would normally oh eggs and re-create that in her enclosure. She will pass the under talipes eggs with you can then remove. But also >>2232033

Get her to a temporary enclosure with access to some water and some loose sandy matter deep enough for burrowing.
You're going to have to do this every time she goes into her cycle I'm afraid, which is why I eventually opted for building a small outdoor pond for my turtles. Made hibernation a hell of a lot easier too.
