Meet stretch
he is about 1.5 yrs old and one of the best turtles Ive ever had he has to be hand fed because he can only see light and dark but he sure knows how ti bask in style. Enjoy

Great shot.
Heres one of my baby.
I also have to feed her seperately from her tank mate due to the dreaded poor eyesight albinos have.

But to me its all worth it when she is so willing to pose for closeups like this.

Very nice albino. Looks to be male , no doubt. Did you buy him as a sex temped male?
He looks like he has grown very well and is quite big for 1.5yrs old but good husbandry shows itself in the turtles.
You are doing a great jon with that guy!
A trick I have learned with all te albinos I have had and raised or sold is that to feed them when small, I put them in a deli cup with a litle water and load it with reptomin or mealworm parts, etc and they cant miss. They see the food but the shadows and lights make their depth of perception think the food is in front when it is to the right or left. They grow out fo it though. All my adults grab food no problem, and I house them outdoors. I just throw a bunch of pellets and crickets and they chase them down. Who did you get him from?
Good luck with him for many years to come.

Thanks for the compliment I really try to keep all of them happy I got him from cypress turtle farm in loisianna but the way she talked she didn't breed them. I might be interested in a female for him. Have you ever had trouble breeding albinos? I dont think he'll have trouble because he has actully mounted my normal female a few times. I'm going to post a pic of him from a few months ago. Is there any way I can contact you in the future I currently dont have an e-mail account but soon I will. Wait a minute are you the one who always posts in the classifieds section? Thanks
