New baby T. radix!

[Ianthehutt]

I believe I tagged a photo... But 29 T. radix... These are awesome! Born from a normal T. radix from Wakefield, Nebraska

[Rushthezeppelin]

Should give em some wet PTs to help with shedding. Still cute little scrubs for sure.

[Albert Clark]

What was the paternal gene (father)? They look cute! Captive bred or wild caught? Oh! Welcome and glad to have you here.

[Ianthehutt]

Right after I took this photo I put them on moist paper towel with a piece of wood... These are from a wild caught female! Currently working on getting my license so I can sell them and keep them legally in Texas... All should be well!

[Albert Clark]

Wow, that's great. I didn't know radix was native species to Texas. I guess the paternal gene was t.radix also?

[Ianthehutt]

The are native to a Northern strip in Texas... They are an endangered species in Texas. The T. radix I have are from Nebraska! And I could only assume it was T. radix! haha I have found red sided garters in the same area in Wakefield but I have never seen any hybrids...

[Rushthezeppelin]

Pretty sure there is zero leway in Texas with being able to sell T. radix, even with the non-game permit. We can only commercially breed T. marcianus, T. cryptosis and T. proximus with that permit.

Unless there is another permit I am not aware of. BTW we can collect and keep all Texas native thams (collecting requires hunting license for private land and reptile stamp on top of that for public land).

[Tommytradix]

I know someone who breeds and sells radix in Texas they have permits to do so so im positive its a possibility he contacted his local officials who do the permits I'll have to get more info for you guys

[Rushthezeppelin]

Must be some special permit beyond the non-game then....interesting.

[Ianthehutt]

I know a guy who sells and breeds T. radix here in Texas also... He gets a nongame dealers permit... And tracks baby sales and turns in a report once a year... I'd have to prove mine are out of state... TPWD, I called today but the person I need to speak to is unavailable until the 31st.

Right, there exists a Nebaska albino t.radix that is here on the east coast. For N.Y. You would need only a certificate of authority from the State of N.Y. but in Penna. You need a aquaculture proprietors license as well. That is bc t.radix is not native to either of those states. I want to look into that Texas licensing.

[Albert Clark]

The Nebraska albino t.radix is the "red" version but a very appealing animal. Along with a few other cbb individuals that are in the trade. Snows, orange albinos, axanthics, Christmas albinos, etc.

[Ianthehutt]

I sold a couple "High red" T. radix... Search Ianrambell or "High red T. radix" ... Unbelievable reds.. I collected some red ones when I went back to my home town in Nebraska in hope of producing some High red T. radix down the line. I've got a very bright red male with me right now and a low red female that is gravid, and a couple other low red juvis...

[Albert Clark]

Wow, that's so cool. Nice.

On a side note, how are things in San Antonio? I went to a couple of military nursing schools down there. I was stationed at Ft. Sam Houston. Spent a lot of time at Brooke Army Medical Center on post. We used to travel into Juarez, Mexico on leaves and short times off. But I really miss the "riverwalk" and the "Alamo".:)

[Ianthehutt]

I have lived in San Antonio for 7 years... Moved going into to 8th grade! My area is surrounded by protected areas of trees and has a man made pond... There are populations of Eastern black neck garter snakes and many other species of critters! I enjoy it here! I'm closer to "Hill country". Not much of a city feel, which is nice! Growing up in Nebraska all I had was nature! A best friend of mine is currently at Ft. Sam Houston... I've heard words about some populations of Horny toads coming back to these areas. That would be exciting!

[Albert Clark]

Nice, sounds like a place I would rather be. Hoping to get out of N.Y.C. as soon as my wife finishes school. I wanted to relocate back to California but it's just so much negativity out there now. Horned toads are cool, I like fire bellies also.

Yeah you sold them to me Ian :)

[Albert Clark]

Cool Jeff, do you have any more of those "high reds" available now? If so, can you post a pic of them?

[Tommytradix]

I'm doing a nice high red pairing. I have a male with a red belly and red head and female with very high reds. The male came from Jason stoots a couple years ago and the female is also 100% het b&w axanthic. I'm also breeding the male to a orange albino

Nice Tommy, as usual. I was referring to the Nebraska "high red" albinos though.

[Ianthehutt]

Yes Jeff I did!! Did you work with them more? ... These are 19 T. radix born from a low red female. I have 7 snakes from the same area where I found the "High red" snakes...

Tommy, is that male in the picture the one with the red belly? If so, can you take another picture of him at a different angle? Maybe a more frontal shot?

Ohhh so as long as I can prove they are from out of state and have the permit I could breed radix? What is their criteria for proof?

[Ianthehutt]

Criteria of proof is unknown at this point... I should figure that out the 31st and when I do I will post the information on here!

[Rushthezeppelin]

Awesome thanks.
