Yep, I too laughed the second I saw this tortoise. I have seen the exact thing happen when leopards are raised exclusively indoors out of direct sunlight. Then, when they are kept outside and they get full sunlight, these 'blonds' suddenly sprout black roots!
Although there might actually be a really pale color phase of leopard tortoise, I tend to think that it is all in how they are raised and it has nothing to do with genetics.
