I went to google and put in color blind turtles and this is one of the sites that come up.

Hmmm with further looking this one differs.

So as you see it apears there are varius views. I suggest you also do some tests of your own to include in your paper. It appears to me that mine can see color. He responds differently to his jar of reptomin and his similar jar (only it is brown not green) of dried shrimp. He is swims much more ferociously when I get the jar of shrimp. He loves them! Maybe some of this might help. Good luck! Now I must go do my own homework for my midterm Psych test tomorrow, for which I have done little studying.
