Regular Member GoldenSpoiledRotten Posted May 19, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted May 19, 2015 Albino Map Turtles, according to my stepfather. They're common in the US pet trade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Acro Posted May 19, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) They look like Albino Red Eared Sliders. +1 Red Eared Sliders are smoother at the bottom of their shell. Map turtles are more jagged. Pignose don't have visible scutes (the hexagon "markings" on the shell). Edited May 19, 2015 by Acro 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Acro Posted May 20, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) We have these native. Softshell turtles are cool. Just for fun, photos of albinos (notice the visible backbone through the skin): Notice the webbed fingers (different from pig nosed, who have flippers): Edited May 20, 2015 by Acro 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
