updated pics of obscurus, similis, and radix
The similis is a wild caught female from Levy County Florida, similis is a stunning species its to bad i really cant capture their beauty.
The red radix belongs to Don Belnap, shes here on breeding loan. She is also wild caught from Ian Campbell, shes from Nebraska.

I am going to have to add them to the wanted list. Poor hubby is going to wish he hadn't agreed to me keeping snakes :) Sadly he has little to no interest in them but I'm training the kids who all love them.

I love the Obscurus too! Do they darken up when they mature or is the yearling just a lighter snake?

[thamneil]

Wonderful similis! Quite a bright individual. The obscurus looks really cool! Can't wait for babies! Great update.

she will and has darkend up a bit, ive had adult males that were a hershey chocolate color, very beautiful. So they vary in color like most garters do:)

All very nice. Most jealous of the Radix, we aren't allowed them here (can only keep wild native Radix, no breeding or importing/exporting allowed)

Joe what are the plans for the radix if I may ask? Are you producing more reds with what you have, or something else? You have reds from Steve?

[BUSHSNAKE]

Beautiful :D She does look big! Do you know her length?
no, probably around 35 inches if i had to guess, shes only 3 years old

[Ruth]

I wonder if my girl will look very similar to this when she's older or if the colours vary much.

[thamneil]

Looks like a beast! Nice snake.

[Dan72]

Just bumping this if Joe wants to give us any updates on the three:D.
