Thanks for responding. Those deformities you mentioned have also been seen in the loggerheads. If you can get a picture up that would be excellent. There are ones who do turn up perfectly healthy looking as well except for their aberrant coloration, but it is not the norm. Most of the white turtles expire before hatching as part of the natural selection process, but every once in awhile an otherwise perfect white one will hatch and make the crawl to the ocean, most likely to meet its fate of natural selection soon thereafter.
