Thanks for sharing. Two weeks ago one of my clutches of Carolina Diamondback's hatched a white terrapin. The first I have ever seen. It too died shortly thereafter. It is always interesting for us to see such aberrations and would be neat to preserve the individual in captivity, but as we have learned first hand, nature has a way of taking care of these aberrations from the start so as not to pass on these genetic mutations. I will post the pic of the hatchling white Diamondback shortly.
