Orange Dorsal T. radix

Found this young female headed across my back yard after I cut the grass. She lives in my radix shelter area. No biting or musking, typical radix.

Nice catch Steve! She looks very healthy too.

I'll probably be hand feeding her before the season is done.

Here is Tang. He had the orangest dorsal on a radix I've ever seen. His injury from a lawn mower or trimmer was too much. My Vet. stitched him up, provided antibiotics and rehab laser therapy. After months of trying he passed due to neurological damage done.

@Steve: How long ago did that happen to Tang? He was a striking looking individual. Sorry for the loss.
