Today at the show I met Gijs & Sabine! I bought a 2006 female radix radix and I'm so happy! :D :D

Took a quick snapshot to show you guys ;)

I didn't think so, because I really wanted a baby from 2007 but these were small enough to my liking :D

Very nice looking snake....but you realize now that you'll have to get more and then start breeding them and get a bigger house and then sell all your belongings to get more and then.........:p

I know there are some gorgeous looking Garter species out there, but when I look at that picture I'm reminded just how handsome radix is. It's got to be my firm favourite! I think it's the well defined vertebral stripe with the black edging...so smart!

You bought a very beautiful snake, Marieke.
The first, but not the last... :D

Gijs & Sabine, and now you Marieke, have excellent stock! You bought an exceptionally attractive young snake there.

She's fantastic. You've made my mind up for me...I'm definitely getting radix again this year.

Holy cow! I'd like to make a motion that Marieke is forthwith banned from any and all future photo competitions ;). All in favor... say aye.

P.S. Great name!

Thanks Sabine!

She's got quite an appetite! I just put 4 guppy's in with her and she ate them all!
