Cool spotting.You are very lucky to have been able to see such a rare turtle. Its not everyday that one come across an albino turtle, partly or completely. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on SOTD.
Beautiful spotting, Luis, and congratulations on Spotting of the Day!
Congratulations Luis. Rare spotting.
Happy SOTD!
Congrats, Luis!! Actually only complete albinos have red eyes. Yours seems not to be a complete albino, but in animals I think it is OK to call ones with albinisms albinos independent if it is a partly or complete one. Complete ones are much rarer than partly ones and some don't think they have a high chance to survive.
Wow Luis! enhorabuena! Preciosa spotting!
Congratulations Luis!
Fantastic discovery. Congratulations!
Wonderful! Congratulations!!
