WOW! That is so special special special... It must be protected at all costs.  But we can't do it, our kids or grandkids will have to, because the tortoise are so long lived, they will not breed until we here will all be gone by then.  I hope it will mate in the future, but I'm not hopeful because it's different, that may be a problem.

Maybe yes or maybe not. I think turtles have a different perception of colors than humans. Only time will give us the answer.
