Turtle watchers in Florida got a double helping of cream when not one but two cream-colored turtles hatched on their beaches. The turtles are leucistic, meaning they have very little pigment (compared to albino, which has none).

Not vanilla, but maybe a subtle mint cream.
Looks like someone wearing a light pink lip gloss smooched him on the noggin!
I think his name is self-evident. He’s Riff Raff, of course.
In Daytona, FL there is a candy shop called Angell and Phillips that makes little white chocolate candies and one of them is a turtle just about this size and almost a dead ringer for this fella. How appropriate.
