Product Description
Overview:
Albino Red-Eared Sliders are a striking and unique color morph of the common Red-Eared Slider, easily recognizable by their bright yellow shells, red markings near their eyes, and lack of pigment in their skin and eyes. Native to the southeastern United States, these turtles are hardy, active, and make fascinating pets. Their albino coloration requires slightly adjusted care to protect them from light sensitivity.
