OMG I didn't even know one existed. That is my Holy grail of reptiles! Wow I can't even guess at the price tag! An amazing tort. I wonder if it is really sensitive to UV?

Wow.... that is amazing! But if it is a true albino, why does it have the red spots on the fore limbs?

Cheers,
JJ

For the same reason it has red eyes...lack of pigment. It's a true albino.
Great pic,

That's an awesome looking little tortoise. I saw some pics of it from the Chicago show the other day.

Albinos lack melanin, black pigment. Albino animals still have the red and yellow pigments (for example, look at albino bloods, albino corns, albino burms, albino balls...). Leucistic animals on the other hand lack all pigments, therefore being completely white.
