It's "natural" in that it's a mutation. But given that (1) tortoises need UVB and an albino animal (or human) cannot be in the sun, and (2) an albino hatchling would be unable to hide effectively from predators, no albino will last long in the REAL world. So albinos do not prosper unless sheltered "unnaturally."
