The radix this time. I know they can be quite variable...
Show us pictures of your nicest / weirdest radix!
Upper one het albino, with erythristic mother, bottom one, just a nice find!

Also got very nice grey ones, but it seems I cant find the picture just now...They are bred by Gijs en Sabine...Maybe James can fill this gap?

[adamanteus]

Great topic, Sjoerd..... I rather like radix!:rolleyes:
I'll post pics in this threads tomorrow.

Very nice colouring on that one -- I like too!!:):)

This is the daughter of Gijs & Sabines 'Pale' radix..... lovely girl!:)

[adamanteus]

I'm afraid none of my pictures do justice to the beautiful, subtle shades of my T. radix. My camera won't focus sharply in anything but the brightest sunshine, and the true colours are often lost. As soon as we have some decent sunshine, I will take a few more photos, which will hopefully be much better.
Have I ever mentioned that my camera's rubbish?:rolleyes:

[Lori P]

Oh but the pics you took are great! Awesome looking snakes... I looooove the face shot!!!

[anji1971]

They're all very nice, James! I really like the one with the bright orange stripe.:)

[Gijs & Sabine]

This is a great topic, Sjoerd !! Like James I also like radix very much :)

Great pictures everyone !!!

I have some to add also......

Yep, you guy's have really pushed my button! Radix are now first on my list of "08 additions to my "must" have list.:p

[Gijs & Sabine]

Good luck, Sid :) You will notice as well then that radix are the most friendly and easygoing garters.........from our own experience ofcourse ;)

Is that really light purple and black? Or is my monitor's color settings all wrong? Very pretty snake. Your others look great, too.

[anji1971]

On my monitor it looks light grey-blue! :p
That is a nice collection of Radix, all of them!

[Snake lover 3-25]

I've never seen a radix... :(

Good luck, Sid :) You will notice as well then that radix are the most friendly and easygoing garters.........from our own experience ofcourse ;)
I got one from Scott last year who's a little spitfire
we named her Spunky
she'll coil and strike at the slightest provocation
will get photo later

I've never met a radix being mean. I guess in Europe we only have the kind ones :D

[adamanteus]

Me too. I've never known radix to bite.

[drache]

not sure that she'd bite and hang on, but the coiling and striking bit can be impressive
she's also the snake most likely to go for finger, if there's no other food coming
and she's not even a year old
but I wouldn't call her mean - just Spunky (her name)
no sun in the forecast
I'll try for some flash pics then - see whether she'll show her stuff

[guidofatherof5]

As some of you know, I kinda like T.radix. They were the first snake I ever saw and probably will be the last. I would like to share some of my photos and hope some of you could post a few of yours. Radix, the "root" of my addiction.

Wasn't it Will Rogers who said "I never met a radix I didn't like"

Steve awesome pictures... wow, you do have alot of them!!!:D

[Sitting_duck]

Wow, the orange radix looks like a corn snake.

[GarterNovice]

Steve you must have a very nice camera. Those are some excellent close ups!

[ssssnakeluvr]

awesome photos!!!!! I like the red one...need to get me some red ones!!!!

[guidofatherof5]

Thanks you. I also have some great software(covers up many of my mistakes)
Let us not forget the subject matter, they make it easy. Just kidding, some shot are 1 out of 20 others that didn't work.

Cameras
Sony DW-90
Olympus FE-20
Canon EOS Digital Rebel and a sweet macro lens.

[guidofatherof5]

awesome photos!!!!! I like the red one...need to get me some red ones!!!!

I had two of those. They are from my backyard. One I released since she didn't like captivity(very strange) A month later I found her dead out back. Something had eaten about 3/4 of her. Still feel bad. She was beautiful.

[ssssnakeluvr]

thats too bad! very nice too....if you find any more reds....let me know... :rolleyes:

[guidofatherof5]

thats too bad! very nice too....if you find any more reds....let me know... :rolleyes:

I'll put your request on the board, Don.

[ssssnakeluvr]

thanks!!!!! (next to all the others on the list....:rolleyes:) :D

[count dewclaw]

I like red, too. ;) Beautiful pictures you have there Steve. Thanks for sharing. I need to get some new photos of my anery radix to post.

[Scaley.Jade]

I LOVE RADIX would love to get myself a few more dif colour morphs grrrrrrrrr +2 to wishlist
you guys really will have to stop its not helping lol

[reptile3]

Put me on the board for a red one too!! Love it. Nice cameras you have.

[guidofatherof5]

Just came across these in my files. Can't say this is one of mine. Just one that lives around my house. She wasn't very happy when I found her again. This was late last fall. Looks like she could use a little TLC.
I have a number of regulars. They come around looking for handouts. Had one come to me while I was on the mower. Had to do a quick shutdown. Fed him and off he went. I hate it when they do that. Not really.
Some live under my deck. When I spot them, they get a free meal.

[guidofatherof5]

_______________reading________________,:D


You either really like my photos or that was a subtle hint that enough is enough.:D
Thanks for your compliment but I don't see it. To me, the photo's before mine are so much better. It's probably like when you hear your own voice. It never sounds good(at least in my case)

I wish there were a way my radix and your radix could meet. Now that would be a party. Snakes spontaneusly shedding and pinkies flying everywhere.

SNAKES GONE WILD

[adamanteus]

You either really like my photos or that was a subtle hint that enough is enough.:D

Not a hint! I love the pictures, especially because they're genuinely wild Garters, taken outside, rather than just some more 'pet pics'. Keep them coming, Steve... and everyone else.:)

[guidofatherof5]

very nice again, Steve
nice visitors you have

Yes, they are. I must live in radix heaven. They're everywhere. It's only going to get worse. I plan on making 3 shelter areas around my house for their protection. Complete with hides and fresh water. To this point they've just had natural shelter and look how many I have. Going to try setting up my video camera to catch some of the action. Only problem, one camcorder only tapes for an hour and my high def. tapes only 15 minutes. Bummer!

[adamanteus]

How about a web-cam, Steve?

[guidofatherof5]

How about a web-cam, Steve?

I've yet to see one that give good quality video. My security camera that I plan on putting in den of my enclosure isn't the quality I want but it's all I can afford. Seem I don't have the money for the things I need. Okay, want.:D

[gregmonsta]

Hehe :) once you do I'll never watch TV again ;)

[guidofatherof5]

Hehe :) once you do I'll never watch TV again ;)

You might be on to something, Greg. I can just see it. 3 am, getting online and watching my show. Complete with commercials for your snakes. Like.

Sirtalis(Cialis), for when the mood is right. WARNING: If you should have a stiff snake that last over 4 hours seek immediate Vet. help!

So much to do. So little time and money.

I'm so broke I can't even pay attention:D Take my wife, please. Wait, somebody already did.:eek::D
You've been a great crowd, I'm here every Thursday.

[guidofatherof5]

Today, I put our girl Lucky in one of my Juv. enclosures. Had been holding her and an issue came up with another group, so in she went. After the issue was over, I looked for Lucky. She was in the hide looking out. This small male came right to her ands started smelling her. I only had time for one shot. Here it is. Write your own captions.

[drache]

really nice photos, Steve - love that third one especially

[guidofatherof5]

really nice photos, Steve - love that third one especially

That's one of my young males. He has always been a little standoffish. I'm noticing that in many of my male radixes. The females are much more trusting. Even during feeding the males will, as a rule will wait a few minutes before they start to eat. Not sure why there's a different with them. This observation is with my Juv. and adults. In my babies, I see no difference.

[guidofatherof5]

Here's just a few more. Still learning how to use this macro lens.
I'm more of a point and shoot guy. Still some f-stop issues and ISO problems. But here goes.
Looks like one of my kids needs to finish her shed.

[guidofatherof5]

Thought I would post a few pictures of our Monster radix(Speckle) She's a big girl at 226 grams. Very docile and a pleasure to have. She again is one from around my house. She's been with us for 2 years. We are hopping for babies this year. Beautiful color and attitude. She's like holding a small bull snake.
Not a scar or blemish on her. To get this big and not have some kind of injury, scar or other visual issue is amazing to me. With all the dogs, cats, birds, people, lawnmowers, weed trimmers, cars and other dangers, she must be a smart one. Hope you enjoy.:)

[reptileparadise]

Wow, shes huge! And looking great!

I´ve been trying to build a website lately (not making any progress due to the lack of time and mostly knowledge) so I've been making pics of most of my animals.
I guess an updated picture of Agent orange wouldnt be to bad...
