Great Picture, Love his eyes!! I was wondering is he/she captive born? If so, how many of his/her brothers/ sisters were leucistic as well? Thanks for posting this picture, fly2000!

He's a cutie. Yes, please tell us more about this turtle. Not often we get to see leucistic ones. Thanks for posting the photo!

Yes, he was captive hatched about a year ago I believe by John Richards. Out of a few thousand there were only a few born that looked like him, and apparently his parents didn't look like this at all. I occasionally see them sold as hypos too. His color gets lighter as he grows. When he is bigger and his shell hardens I will scrub off the algae and see what the carapace looks like. I think it is actually pretty light, judging from where I can see he is growing.
