Finally found my Yellow Headed Male Eastern

[yagyujubei]

This guy's pretty white:

I've found your next project. White eastern box turtles.

Here's an old post from Terry...he has some very nice ones all around his place. I'm sure he'd be happy to snap photo's for anyone anytime.

His name is Meyer

Gorgeous!

Ah....so Meyer isn't just a good name after all. Very clever.

Tangelo was named similarly

As was Valencia

And Clementine

Valencia and Clementine are the closest I've been able to get to red females.

Here is my red male, Redford.

I think I've got enough projects, thank you! I would be interested in a white skinned, white shelled eastern with normal pattern, but I've never seen anything close. You'd have to start with something like yagujubi's male and a similar female and do multiple generations. Hacker has a pretty nice white baby from his white male on kingsnake. Did he sell it yet?

That white/mint green one in your link is amazing, as are all of the ones in those links. It's a good thing I don't live near those woods. I would have a hard time not bringing one (or several) home! Collecting isn't legal in TN, right?

Okay cool yeah when you said line (which means line of descent In genetics) I took it to mean line breeding which is used to fix a trait. I am glad you are not doing that. I will be taking more picture of my turtles as I have adopted several that I have no pictures of when I do my measure and weights this week ( hopefully). Then I will post up on here.

The one has the green skin trait which I've never seen with the green shell trait. I've seen green skin with orange shell markings and I've also seen the yellow skin trait with the green shell trait.
