Leucistic/hypo Pink Alligator snapping turtle

[C00K]

My little Leucistic/Pink Alligator snapping turtle. I've seen them called leucistic, but probably just hypo. This one may be super hypo, as it was by far the lightest out of all of its siblings. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Lives in a desk tank in my lab at work. Look at how light it is compared to the young razorback musk turtle. Pics of my larger AST for color comparison.

I believe those are Leucistic common snapping turtles. This is a hypo/super hypo AST. Colors get lighter with age, look at the patterns on the feet.

no, those are crutchfields hypo commons. A leucy or super hypo would have less color than those.

I am pretty sure I have seen the exact turtles in your picture at that vendor at a couple of east coast reptile shows, you know how these vendors get around.
LOL in any case I appreciate the comments, this turtle is from John Richards stock. I guess my pics are just terrible.

I would say he has some hypo in it, nice turt anyways but not something I would like pay 400 dollars for. By the way you should raise him in a tank on its own.

Here's a similar morph in CST:

Has anyone on this forum raised CST or AST from young? I find it amusing how many people think this is how normal young AST look. My coworker has a baby CST and she thinks this turtle looks albino it is soo light.
