One in a 100,000


Albino Red Slider Turtle. The owner said albinos occur in turtles at a rate of one per 100,000. It's a beautiful creature although it would probably have great difficulty surviving in the wild. In case you looked close at the picture, this nice-sized red slider is sitting on a huge water turtle and that "rock" is really a turtle shell!

Turtle Lovers


Red Slider Turtle perched on Amazonian Water Lilly. Fun picture. This little red slider turtle found the coolest leaf on the water to purch on. Those big raised edges on the Amazonian Water Lilly keep the water off the leaf and enable the turtle to get up nice and dry, almost as well as if he had found a rock!

And Turtle, Too!


In the lilly pond with the frogs... Did I mention there was a red slider turtle too? Yes, red sliders like lilly pads too and this one is just small enough to hop out on a lilly pad -- well, almost.
