    The color is due to a deficiency of pigment called tyrosine. The pigment is present in many different reptiles including crocodiles. Scientists say that when a deficiency like this occurs it is due to a genetic mutation or a congenital disorder.

    The turtle that was rescued was identified as a “yellow morph” of an albino Indian flapshell turtle. The turtle is rare because it’s not just specific parts of the turtle with this mutation but the entire thing. Making it a bright yellow all over.

    These turtles are usually found in South Asian countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar. They have a soft shell and live mostly in freshwater. Their food sources are typically frogs, snails and vegetation making them omnivores and https://turtlecaring.com/can-red-eared-sliders-eat-celery/.
