I thought you all might like this. I saw a post further down asking about albino painteds. Someone on the Turtle Times message board found one and posted pics.

The first post shows the carapace, and a few replies down show the gorgeous plastron.

AWESOME!!!!!
What a great picture, I wonder if it really is a naturally occurring albino in the wild or did someone toss it in the pond?I can't imagine that anyone would pay for one & then toss it in a pond.. at least not an albino. WOW WOW WOW

It was probably natural, and he just found it before it got eaten. It looks like a baby.

I say I don't like to take them out of the wild but if I'd found one like that I'd take it in because you know it's got no chance out there being that color.
What a beautiful little turtle!

You'd take it in huh. You know you just jinxed yourself to have a needy albino turtle to show up on your doorstep. lol
