Albino Leopard Tortoises (Picture Heavy)

[Neal]

A few months back I was having some fun with one of my dear friends in a Cameroon coffee shop.

This guy was particularly impressive and actually provided, what appeared to be, genuine pictures of what he was trying to scam me with. He wrote me claiming he had albino leopard tortoises for sale and sent me these pictures:

Pretty cool I think. I'm sure some of you out there might appreciate these so I thought I would share them. Since the guy was clearly a con-artist I did not ask for permission to share these, and I take no credit for their origin.

He also said he had some albino pancakes, but I never got any pictures out of him.

They are very interesting...

Very cool. How much did he say? Of course you would never see one show up at your door step.

$3,500 a piece. Surprising again since they tend to advertise really low prices on other higher end species.

Too bad that they seem to have lost the most appealing trait of leopards - the pattern. I think I read somewhere that they have bred albinos in Tanzania as well.

Yeah, now that I went through the old emails (this was a few months ago) the guy said he was in Tanzania not Cameroon...but still possibly from Cameroon

They are pretty, but I love the Leopards in general better, from the rich darks to the light blondes with different patterns. There are a lot of scammers out there

Very interesting .....thanks for sharing!

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

For sure interesting.

 

[DesertGrandma]

I think their pink eyes are creepy looking LOL The regular ones are so much prettier in my opinion

 

[l0velesly]

Whoa, that's so cool.. never seen albino leopards! LOL they look like a high-domed sulcata w.o the patterns!

 

[Shelly]

Very interesting. But something about them that I just find really unappealing.

 

[Merlin M]

I want one So much now!! (but naturally I would need an albino and a normal one) Such a shame I neither have the money nor the space!(or know where to get them...)
