Hello I have a res and something frighting just happend.
I went to my room to see her sleeping I turned on the light and this usually wakes her but it didn't so I turned on her tank light. still asleep. Getting kinda worried now I pick her up. She wakes so I put her back in the watch but she doesn't swim just sits. So I start to nudge her back to get her to move cuz I was still very scared for her. She didn't start swimming but rather just walked on the bottom of her tank eating scraps I hadn't cleaned yet and when she went to get more air she nearly flipped!
This turtle is causing me so much stress. Shes a few months old and I still only have a 10gallon and no uvb light. I think she is going to have eggs and this stresses me due to the fear of egg binding and death. I'm trying to get a bigger tank and uvb but I can't afford it T-T
Got pic off google but it looks almost just like how she sleeps

if only full spectrum light was commonly available and totally free

Tank glass removes the vitamin D from sunlight that they need

You should just get rid of the turtle, you don't sound qualified at all to keep one.
You can't even afford a basic setup for one. What would you do if it needed a vet? Let it die?
What do you feed it? Shitty pellets from the pet store?
RES take years to reach sexual maturity and even then most probably need to hibernate before they even start producing eggs. My yellow slider is 10 years old and has never laid any.

I feed it lettuce and only pellets on Tuesday for protein. I-if it got sick I could probably find money for the vet. Shes only small and i'm working on the money to but a bigger tank she already has a filter and heat I just don't want to sell her because I love her so much and she looks really happy. [spoiler] She also keeps the cats out of my room [/spoiler]

>few months old
Thats way way too young for eggs
>10 gallons
>no uvb
>feeds only lettuce except for pellets once a week
You should definitely be stressing out because you are directly killing your turtle through shit care.

but I read on a pet forum that green leaf lettuce and protein were a turtles ideal diet!
