Description

Baby Albino Red Ear Slider Turtle Rehome fee $100 An Albino Turtle carries the recessive gene for Albinism, causing the turtles skin pigment to lack melanin. This lack of the melanin pigment is what produces a white or yellowish colored turtle. It is estimated that in the wild for every 20,000 baby turtles that hatch only two of them will be born albino. Albino Red Eared Sliders are one of the most striking of all turtles to keep. One in a million, their survival in the wild is almost impossible. Luckily a few breeders, produce them for keepers to appreciate and enjoy. Albino Red Eared Sliders are one of the few turtles that actually are hatched for gender by temperature. Ours are past the difficult early stages and well started. Albinos Red Ears behave the same as normal Red Eared Sliders, and they otherwise have the same husbandry requirements which follow. The most common turtle available the world over, Red Eared Sliders make excellent starter turtles, and adults will brighten up outdoor ponds in nearly all US temperature zones. They do well in tanks, water and land setups, and when kept with most other species.
