I have a very interesting observation I would like to share.
I've been concerned about a young red(very red) female radix, first year. She's been with the Ranch for the last couple of months and has eaten very little. She has been living with a group of adults from the same area. This female has also stayed wild and hasn't been calming down like the others. I made a joke to the snake saying " if you want to act like a baby , maybe you should live with babies" I proceeded by placing her in with a group of babies that were born to female from the same area. Approximately 30 minutes later I fed(cut-up worms) that group of babies. To my surprize one of the first radixes to eat was this red female. It was like looking at a completely didferent snake. Aggressively taking food from others and forcing her way into the fray.
I can't help but feel this radix was intimidated by the other group she was living with. Now that she was in with those of her own size she was feeling more at ease. Of course there's nothing scientific about thsee observation but it's still interesting how she changed so quickly.
I'm very pleased with the change as this is a very beautiful female, even at this young age. As an adult she'll be a knockout red radix.
