My First Radix!

[Greg'sGarters]

Today, at a reptile show, I bought my first radix! I am so excited! I have never seen a garter snake this docile before! She is just a baby. I can't wait until she grows up! She is 100% het High Red Albino. She is showing a little signs of being a red radix.

Hey Greg what other type of garter snakes did they have at the show?

I don't remember exactly. I know that there were the radixes, an albino red-sided, triple het red-sideds, and checkereds. That's all I remember.

Erythrism is actually a co-dominant or dominant trait. So your baby will either be red or normal, no hets for red. She will be het for albino though. Please correct me if I am incorrect!

I could also be wrong but I believe that she is het for high red, not erythristic. I'm new to radixes (as the title suggests) so I definitely could be wrong.

[EasternGirl]

Lovely radix! Radixes are awesome snakes. They are very loving and social. Steve can tell you everything you want to know about them.

Hey Greg I believe the person you purchased this radix from is also a member of this forum Sirtalis01

[BLUESIRTALIS]

That's what i was thinking that it sounded like julio and if that's the case i think the father of the litter came from steve and he was a very high red male and julio's female is sweet.

I think this is Julio's website

Good luck with her! :cool:

Mom's a beauty! Good luck with your new squiggle!

Yes, I actually did purchase her from Julio (sirtalis01).

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

I would recognize that female anywhere! Anyways I don't know if anyone mentioned it yet but your snake is 100% het albino, and possibly erythristic (remains to be seen). If the snake grows up and either does, or doesn't turn red, then it isn't het "high red albino" it's just het albino. They red trait is completely separate from the amel trait. I just wanted to clarify that for you in case you weren't sure. So your snake will either be an erythristic het albino, or a normal het albino. Can't see the pictures too well but hopefully it turns red!

[sirtalis01]

shannon you are 100% right...that little grl was showing a bit of red..the ones that are showing high red are my hold backs......unfortunately my albino red female passed but she was able to breed and gave birth to 42 healthy babys.

Greg Hope she turns in to a stunning grl for you...

[Dan72]

Julio I saw that you lost her on the Facebook group the other day. So sorry to hear that for you, she was a stunning snake and I'm sure her babies will do her proud. I bet your hold backs are amazing from that pairing.

Great looking scrub, good luck with her Greg.

[Greg'sGarters]

Greg Hope she turns in to a stunning grl for you...

I hope so too! Lol she looks like an erythristic, but not a very red one. I think Julio can confirm that she is more red in person that you can see in that photo. But only time will tell! :) I am sorry to hear about the loss of your high red albino girl. :(

[Greg'sGarters]

This girl is growing like a weed! She is getting bigger every time I see her! Photos will come soon.

[guidofatherof5]

That is a good radix trait.

Nice quotes!

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

oh noooo... so sorry to hear that she is gone Julio :(

[Greg'sGarters]

Like I promised, I would post photos of her as she grew, and boy is she growing QUICKLY! She already takes a medium sized pinkie and 1/3 an earthworm all by herself! Julio, I thought you knew not to inject snakes with steroids! :D

Sweet little green head scrub.

[Greg'sGarters]

Thank you Steve, she just shed, so she is definitely growing. She is eating like crazy!

[thamneil]

Getting big! Nice pattern.

[Greg'sGarters]

Yup, White Plains.
