This is a WHITE MISSISSIPPI MAP TURTLE -
Native to the rivers of the southern United States, this striking turtle usually has dark shells with intricate “map-like” markings.
But in rare cases like this one, a genetic mutation gives it a stunning white or very pale coloring.

Massive tracks on Sanibel Island revealed today a rare leatherback sea turtle, the largest turtle on Earth, weighing up to 2,000 pounds! It’s the first nest there in 4 years. These deep diving giants can reach 4,000 feet and have roamed the oceans since dinosaur times.

“Never Paint a Turtle's Shell”
Painting a turtle's shell isn't harmless; it's a silent form of cruelty. Its shell is alive, full of nerves and blood vessels. Through it, it breathes, regulates its temperature, and senses. Covering it with paint, blocks its ability to absorb light. It dies in pain.

That’s a great welcome mat. I picked this up awhile back in Safed. 😁 Terrible lighting, sorry.
