Salmon anyone?

[guidofatherof5]

Tonight was feeding night. I was starting to worry about a snake that had been lost for 1 1/2 months at my kid's school. It was a fall baby and was found in a shoe box under a counter. The little one was very thirsty but didn't want to eat. Slowly his weight went down and I thought he didn't have a chance. Tonight, I offered a piece of Salmon and he took it and 5 other pieces. I think he's on the road to recover.

One of my other groups really ate a big meal. Here's a few photos from the frenzy. They really know how to clean a plate:eek: These are 8 months old and growing like little weeds.

Good one Steve

I just realized I am missing my fem tangerine Pueblan milk I just got last Oct.

I hope to find her soon. If not inside maybe out side this spring.

can you say "feeding frenzy"? LOL! glad to see they are doing great!!!! :D

[reptile3]

Wow Steve, that's alot of radix's!!! did you put any supplement on the salmon?

[guidofatherof5]

Yes, Stephanie. I don't use a supp. everytime. They get worms, salmon, and pinkies. Every other meal gets the "Rep-Cal"
If you look close at Photo 1 and 2 you'll see it. Thanks for your concern and reminder.

I just love these little guys. The hard part will be parting with most of them.
Hopefully I will be able to find good homes for most of them

[guidofatherof5]

I'm hoping to make it to the meeting in July and will be bringing a bunch of them with me.
Wayne gets first pick, then it's open to everyone else. They will be free. Just take good care of my babies.
They are all great Radixs.

I would love to have 2-3 of them... as with any of my skin kids,furry kids & scaly kids... I take care of them, with all my heart!:)

[count dewclaw]

I will take good care of a few. Will there be any of the reddish ones? I like those a lot, but the more "normal" ones are very pretty, too.

[anji1971]

Good news for the little lost one!
I wish I could get a couple of those babies. They're such pretty snakes!

[drache]

they are pretty
wish I could too . . .

[Sid]

Glad to hear the "lost" one is eating again, Steve.

I will be at the July meeeting and woould love to get a trio from you.

[guidofatherof5]

My plan is to take around 30-40 babies.

[adamanteus]

They're all beautiful snakes, Steve. I'm glad to hear that the lost and found one is eating at last.
It's great that you're spreading 'radix love' freely throughout the forum!

James,

Radix Rules

[adamanteus]

Radix Rules

Absolutely. They are THE Garter.

[olive oil]

What a generous thing to do Steve, and this way you will be able to keep tabs on how they are doing, and you know they will be taken care of!

[guidofatherof5]

My daughter(Gabby) and I were crying last night at the thought of giving any of them away or having to let them go. We both know it's the best thing for them. My breeding females will keep in busy for many years to come. If any of you get some of my kids I will expect many updates and photos.

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

Absolutely. They are THE Garter.

I beleive that is true even from a scientific viewpoint... just look at their scientific name!!!

[adamanteus]

Yes indeed... radix... the root!

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

I would love to adopt a couple of you kids! But I don't know if I will have room for more radixes, haha, I already have 7!!! I am really hoping to make it to the meeting, but it's still iffy, because right around that time is one of the only times me and boyfriend can get off together to go visit family on the other side of the state!!!:eek:

Sorry. This is not acceptable. You must be there!

[guidofatherof5]

We want you there.

[drache]

[reptile3]

Sorry. This is not acceptable. You must be there!


I'd second that Shannon, YOU must be there!:D

[guidofatherof5]

LeAnn

There are a few reddish ones along with some browns. Yellow/orange and cream dorsals.
Your right, they are all beautiful. They also have great attitudes. They love to be handled and interact.
You will all love them.

But I’ll use yours in mixed company … LOL LOL ;)
