I want the last one!!!!!!!

Gorgeous all of them.

[Stefan-A]

Beautiful ordinoides (all of them) and that radix will be pretty nice too, once you get a little meat on her bones. :)

[guidofatherof5]

Great looking snakes.
Can you give us any history on the radix. Was she taken from someone or something else?

something else....was picked up this summer by someone and brought here to Utah.....this person had no clue and called it a ribbon snake. didn't even know how to care for it, and gave it to the rescue.

[kibakiba]

I love the ordinoides. They are so cute! :D

I'm glad they knew to do that, so someone could care for it properly.

[ssssnakeluvr]

[guidofatherof5]

Nice looking.
Definite attitude.:D

[gregmonsta]

Gorgeous snakes :D

I've still to meet one of these agressive/defensive garters ..... I must be doing something wrong :rolleyes:
I've had hissing from a gravid female .... but have never seen the 'I WILL take your finger hostage, if you come too close' look.

[HazAnga]

Awesome looking bunch, glad to hear they are in the proper care now. Hope everything goes well for them all.

[zooplan]

Very cute,
looks like a tiny beast:D

[kibakiba]

I love those angry looking little faces! :D

[Odie]

a couple northwesterns....
Are they yellow and grey :confused:

[zooplan]

.... but have never seen the 'I WILL take your finger hostage, if you come too close' look.
Send me a hand and an eye of you for that experience:rolleyes:
I´ll put your hand in a special cage and let your eye watch what´ll be happening:cool:
You may also bring the rest of your body with the needed stuff:D

[ssssnakeluvr]

Are those babies from the big orange stripe girl I sent? They're looking well. I think they're going to develop some nice color in their stripes too.:)

I acquired a male very blue, absolutely stunning anery concinnus a few months ago that looked thinner and in much worse shape than that radix. Normally I wouldn't have bothered trying to save it but it's color is just so dang awesome, I went ahead and gave it shot. After pancur treatment he started eating very well (he'll only eat pinkies so far) a pinky or two every other day or so. He's looking much better now and I think he'll be fine. If you can keep her eating, and often, I'll bet she'll make it. Good luck, she's a looker.

[ssssnakeluvr]

they are from her.... she didn't make it... gave birth and quit eating.... finally got her to start and she died a week later :(

[ConcinusMan]

She was very old Don and I had trouble getting her to eat any more than enough to keep her alive. As thin and old as she was, I consider it lucky that she had a fine healthy litter. The babies look great. I think you told me in a PM that they are not eating well now. Maybe not full-out brumation but big cool down for a couple of months is what is called for. You guys need to remember that like dekayi, these are cold-functioning snakes. They don't need, and probably shouldn't be kept very warm most of the year. I mean, I've seen them on the surface and active in Feb or in the fall when it's only about 50 degrees. They all but vanish (can't be found) when it's only 75 and sunny usually. My red stripe girl remained active and feeding well even after being kept at around 60-70 for a while. By far, the best time to find these snakes is spring and fall when it's cool.

[guidofatherof5]

Sorry to hear about your loss, Don.

[ssssnakeluvr]

update time.... the plains from Colorado is doing well!!! she is taking cut up pinkies and worms!!!

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/ssssnakeluvr/DSCF1038.jpg

on a suckier note.... I lost a few snakes in brumation.... all my northwesterns, including the nice black one...no idea why. also lost het albino florida blues... most of my other snakes are doing good.. brought males out this week to get ready for breeding!!!

I also got a breeder loan from BUSHSNAKE (Joe)...... a melanistic male eastern, het for Shuett albino

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/ssssnakeluvr/DSCF1042.jpg

[gregmonsta]

Sorry to hear about your losses.
Sweet couple of snakes there though ;). Very nice melanistic.

[ssssnakeluvr]

[ConcinusMan]

Which episode? Oh, nevermind. Must be "Spiders, Snakes and Ants"

[BUSHSNAKE]

i like the Colorado radix Don very nice i hope the melanistic breeds for ya too, when im involved with breeding loans and they're successful its very rewarding to come thru! so get to work!!!!lol


cheers
joep

[jitami]

Love the melanistic loaner! Sorry to hear about your losses, tho :(

[ConcinusMan]

on a suckier note.... I lost a few snakes in brumation.... all my northwesterns, including the nice black one...

All of them? Jeez, that's mighty suspicious. Sorry to hear that. Any theories at all?

[ssssnakeluvr]

no ideas.... they were healthy and I have had the melanistic one for well over a year....

here's pics of a new snake I got last fall from Joe (BUSHSNAKE).... snow eastern :D

[ConcinusMan]

A melanistic amelanistic. Freaky.

If you ask me, I don't think they should be called "snow"

They don't look the part.:p

[ssssnakeluvr]

have you ever seen the snow thats plowed along the side of the road...kinda looks like that.. "dirty snow" :D

[BUSHSNAKE]

the snows are different looking but still cool, they also seem to change their color tones in different lighting and i think you can see that in the pics

[ConcinusMan]

is there a "not dirty" axanthic or anery version?

[BUSHSNAKE]

no, the silver(which may be axanthic)has been a tough morph to establish in captivity and has not been bred to any albinos to produce double hets, but the idea behind this cross is thought to produce a cleaner snow, only time will tell
