Hows got the biggest T.radix?

[Atlas511]

just looking for some fun pics of the biggest t.radix out there!

[guidofatherof5]

Sorry, I'm unable to reduce my photo to get it on the screen.:D

I'll get a current picture of my Speckle(37 inches) and get it posted.

Keep taking care of those concinnus babies and you just might end up with 43 inch females in about 8-10 years.;)

Scott has a hybino plains female around 48" long.... he may have to post the photo, I am not sure where it is...I saved it somewhere on my computer....

[ConcinusMan]

wow

[ssssnakeluvr]

its on his site.... price page, click on hybino plains, she is there on the top right side.... huge garter!

[ConcinusMan]

I don't get it. Looks like an Iowa to me, except that the stripe is orange. Why is it called "Hybino"

[kibakiba]

Maybe it's just a name to make it seem more fancy. :p

[ConcinusMan]

I'm seriously inclined to believe that. Makes it easier to call it "the first" and charge $195 for a snake that really is nothing more than a $75 snake with slight difference in stripe color. I think I am beginning to get this marketing thing. It does just look like a very light colored iowa that inherited the dark orange stripe from it's red radix parent, and not much more than that.

[kibakiba]

Honestly, albinos all look the same to me. Sure some of them have different patterns and colours but... I like my regular garter snakes. :D

[ConcinusMan]

What?

Albino

They look no more alike than normals. You're not alone though. A lot of people just want normal garters.

[kibakiba]

The pale colouring is just weird to me. I wouldn't mind caring for one, I just prefer normals. I like snows, even though they kind of look like an albino, but... It's hard to explain how I feel about albinos. They aren't "ugly" to me or anything, there's just something kind of... I guess unnerving? about them.

comes from crossing a high red with an albino, produced a bright orange stripe on the albino, deeper orange than normal

That's how I feel about most snows. They just make me get an "eww, icky" feeling. Yes, snows are albinos that are also axanthic so it's actually a combo of two mutations.;)

variety is the spice of life! we all llike different things.... if we all liked the same exact stuff....... I would be hitching a ride to the next galaxy!!! I love both, albinos and normals :cool:

[kibakiba]

I love all garter types and species, including albinos but alas they still give me that weird feeling. If I had one in my possession I wouldn't love it any less than my others.

Ironically, there's not much variation if you don't have any pigment. :D

[ConcinusMan]

That's what I was thinking when that first snow red sided was produced. I was like... so what? looks like any other snow garter. I mean, how the heck does one even know what species it is? You just can't really tell by looking at them.

[Atlas511]

I love the converstaion....... but can I please see some PICTURES of the largest t.radix????

[kibakiba]

She's huge! If you showed her to my mom she would probably think that she wasn't a garter and she would probably scream. She thinks Mama is gigantic, but Mama's only 1.5 feet long ;)

[Atlas511]

Awesomes Steve!!! how much does she weigh?

[guidofatherof5]

Awesomes Steve!!! how much does she weigh?

While everyone is marveling over speckle, I don't see a pic at all.

[ConcinusMan]

That's OK. It mysteriously appeared later. Photobucket, no wonder.
