Heres a couple tips, 1) dont drop food in and attempt to watch it eat, it will probably just make you mad. Drop and walk away. 2) any food still floating after 15 mins squeeze a little bit to let the air out so it sinks. Baby turtles, especially the more blind lines of albino sliders, eat most...
I didnt come up with the name. Apparently that one hatched from a hypo translucent breeding, along with a handful of others that looked like it, and some "normal" translucents. Doesnt have red eyes though.
Theres been a million instances of adult red eareds that turned black, maybe old age does it? Im not sure at what size that change colors so who knows... ones that start off black are most likely a recessive gene morph.
Here is a "cream albino" which came from a hypo translucent breeding. Really interesting little guy.
A hypermelanistic red eared slider, black skin with a dark shell, still has the red ear though.
Here is the hypermel with a snow.
And the hypermel with a snow and an albino.
Here are some 2014 albino red eared sliders.

Thanks for looking!
