I purchased "Sprite" from M-n-R Reptiles last year (2004) as a "lemon-lime albino." I'm still not sure what he is though I'm guessing he's a tyrosinase positive albino. He is mostly yellow like an albino but with a slight green tinge to him, especially in the stripes on his skin. The spots on his plastron are a lavender-grayish color. And as you can see, his eyes are dark. In contrast to true red-eyed albinos that have fairly poor vision, his vision seems to be perfect. I'd welcome any other opinions, and a follow up from anyone that has another RES like him!

Tyrosinase negative.

Wow spectacular.

I had one just like yours. I will try and post a picture of mine in the next few days.

This is my two year old white { he is the one on the bottom right } As a hatching his shell looked just like my albinos. He has dark eyes and his legs are pink and gray. Now his shell has patterns with a few green lines.

Thanks for posting this. Nice collection you have there! That guy looks pretty identical to mine. I'm hoping to be able to snag a female sometime soon!
