It happens all the time in any species that have recessive, or other, genetic morphs.

The new cages we are building are for living outside, year round. I'm in south Florida, it's perfect weather here all but a few months out of the year. The new cages will have green house frames but only have the plastic the few months of cold we get. The way we do it now, and still will for some species, is only done in spring and summer.
This is how the new cages look, recycled from old turtle raising polys, and made in 5' and 8' diameters. They can be made as tall as needed, 6' is what we will be using. I like how they're working so far and will be heavily planted inside and around the whole outside. It's going to be fun to sit and watch.

This is is the first, there will be five more. I will post pics for you once they're all in a row, planted, and have the green house frame up. I hope this helps you understand, don't be afraid to go outside.
This is INCREDIBLE!! WOW!
