Advice on female RES shell condition

Hello all,

I have 2 RES, one male one female, which I inherited from my mother who could no longer keep them. I have been trying to care for them to the best of my ability, learning along with the way. The female seems to have some shell issues going on, and it's clearly time for a vet visit. The female RES's shell has a pinkish color to it that just recently appeared. I would just like some opinions, thank you in advance.

I can't tell what's going on from the picture, but a vet visit would be a good idea. You will also likely need to make some significant changes to their setup.
