Color is the last thing to develop. I don't think this was any special color morph like albinism or leuc., etc. It looks like that process failed to complete properly or the turtle tried to hatch too early before the process could complete. It is also possible that this was a deformity linked to a "fatal" gene as sometimes happens in other animals.
