Yellow turtle???

Question
We found a totally yellow turtle in a pond.  It has red eyes and red stripes on it's neck but other than that it is COMPLETELY yellow.  Never seen anything like it.  Any ideas?

Answer
Sounds like an albino or semi-albino Red-Ear Slider.

If you do not want to try to keep it, and have any reputable dealers or breeders in your area, you may want to contact them- there are people who would be happy to have it (if I am right about the species.)

I am not a big fan of capturing wild turtles, but I might make an exception in a case like this.
