Albino CDT

[dmmj]

SO I was wondering has anyone ever seen a albino CDT or any albino desert for that matter?

 

[Angi]

No but I did see an albino water turtle of some type yesterday.

I have a couple of what I've been calling "leucistic" CDT's, but they have normal eyes.

(this is the same tortoise, the smaller one was too far into the hide to reach)

I wish I had a regular colored one to show you the difference.

I love how the cat decided to show it's backside for the camera!

When I posted the above picture I didn't have a normal-looking desert tortoise to post with it, but this a.m. Angi sent me a picture of her desert tortoise, and I'll include the two pictures here side-by-side so you can compare:

normal -

and what I think is leucistic -

What does leucistic mean? Why are they so different?

Those pics almost look like a hypo desert tortoise.

I have seen/have pics of a albino desert tortoise, but I am not sure if I can share them
