Some awesome OT

Sorry for all the non king pics lately, it's a different time of the hear for me. I just got this dream of mine this mourning, a albino western painted turtle. It's one of the coolest albinos I have seen, I can't stop looking at him.

That's really cool looking, Gerard. What is it that sets him different from the rest?

It's a new species that has been reproduced albino and is one of the prettiest. I have albino pink bellys too, they are pretty sweet as well.

That thing is pretty awesome.

I guess what I've thought were babies turtles (about twice that size) at the local lakes werent at all. I'm almost as blown away by the size of that little guy as I am by the color... tiny!

What I can't figure out from your post... did you hatch out that sweet little thing yourself?

Can't decide if that's red on the plastron or fluorescent orange... way bright!

Gerry

GerardS Jun 27, 2012 06:23 PM

I did not hatch it, my friend hatched it out. It's neon red but will really get nice in a year.

That is one of the best looking albino Turtles I've seen yet!

Disclaimer: I do keep several snakes in pairs, and some in groups. However I realize that things can go wrong, and I have to keep a close eye on those groups, to be sure they are not being adversely affected by these living conditions. Also if one happens to eat it's cagemate, it is 100% my fault, and I know the risks in advance!

What's wrong with using CAUTION?!?!?!
