Question turtle may have a shell problem, please help

hi guys

well a girl moved in next door who may have a problem with her turtle, its a red eared slider and seems to be developing a shell problem and is turning "greenish".

she had mentioned that the uv light had broke a while back and it was my understanding that turtles need this light (if indoors) for proper calcium usage and shell developtment.

also do turtles need supplimentation of nutrients in their diets?

i stick to boas and geckos but would like to help her out so please let me know.
