I saw some pink skin alligator snapper hatchlings for sale at turtlesellers.com, was wondering if anybody knew something about it? Is it a genetic thing or just normal variation? I'd like to see some pictures or hear an explantion of it. Does the coloration retain throughout adulthood? I'm so curious
Thanks for ANY info u can give,
David
Hi David, I bought one a couple years ago and he's about 5" now. I think about 5% hatch out this color.I don't know what they look like as adults.The one in the pic isn't as red as in the pic but is pink.
Wow, that's nice. Is there anything different about the pinks diet to keep them that color or just normal? Thanks for the great pic!
David
They will pretty much stay that color with a normal diet but I've noticed a brighter color if fed a turtle food with krill in it. Steve
Awesome snapper, i'm going to try and get one myself. Is the waiting list long?
