Cariad

[ssssnakeluvr]

our mascot Cariad bred again! she actually bred in the fall when I put her together with the male. she was getting big when I brought her out of brumation. she should be popping any time now, she just shed :D

Nice plump T.radix. She's beautiful.;)

[Stefan-A]

Our mascot has certainly grown. :) How's her attitude these days?

[ConcinusMan]

I know that Cariad is mother to my Amy, and I know that Cariad's brother is Amy's father.

Who and what is the father of this litter? I'll be needing a 2011 male nebraska/iowa double het this year, or an albino male, to pair up with the other female hets and/or that 2010 nebraska I recently got from you.

[charles parenteau]

Amazing garter snake ,hope she will have a lot of healthy babies!!

[ssssnakeluvr]

she's still feisty! doesn't try to bite very often now. she was pretty calm when I took this pic.

Richard...the father of this litter is the brother of Cariad. same father as the babies I sent you.

I knew you'd like this pic Steve :D

[BUSHSNAKE]

best of luck with her Don

[guidofatherof5]

I knew you'd like this pic Steve :D

If you ever retire her Don. She's welcome to live on the Ranch.
I'm going to starting a retirement radix wing to the Ranch.
It's going to be called "Serpent Serenity" a radix retirement community.
Let me know what you think.

that's very cool Steve! not sure tho...am quite attached to her ;)

[guidofatherof5]

I know what you mean. If she was mine I'd never let her go. She a great snake.
How old is she?

[gregmonsta]

Simply gorgeous ;)

[drache]

she's our beautiful big forum radix
doesn't she nominally belong to a european forum member who guessed correctly how many were going to be in the litter she was part of?

[ssssnakeluvr]

she is 6. yea, someone over there guessed the number of babies the albino mother was going to have. since the winner would receive one and they were overseas, they just named her. :D

[guidofatherof5]

Only 6. She's in the prime of life.
Long live Queen Cariad.;)

[Stefan-A]

Can't get the math to fit. Are you sure she's not 4? The forum hasn't even been online for 5.

Should have let the winner select someone located here, to receive the baby on their behalf. Well, not telling you what you should do, that's just what I would have done.

Well, almost 4. :D

I tried to remember when it could have been and was off by a bit. Didn't bother changing what I wrote in the same post after I pasted the links.

[ConcinusMan]

Well in that case, she's in her prime baby makin' years. Many more litters to come. Speaking of which, are you growing up some holdbacks to replace her when it's time for retirement? I certainly would. She's producing some awesome babies.:D

I have the orange nebraska female and a male nebraska albino with some hints of orange coming in. I also have a couple normals.....but they are available for sale. I will probably hold back a pair of orange Iowas if I can get them. I crossed the male with the red one last year also. I am holding a pair of them also. the female is turning red!!!!

[CrazyHedgehog]

ooooh just found this and not been on for a few years... yup, I might have to come over there and claim her now she is in her prime!!
:)

[Stefan-A]

Welcome back, Inge. :)

[infernalis]

Yeah really.

Welcome back mate, been forever.

I was going by "dekaybrown" last time you were on.

[ProXimuS]

This is a cool snake:) Is/was the the mascot for this forum?

[Dan72]

First time through this thread as well, awesome snake Don! Did she produce a litter this year? Love the coloring.

[Dan72]

Just found your pregos thread, sorry she didn't do anything this year. Any fall lock up?

[ssssnakeluvr]

no..... my het albino male, her brother passed away in the spring.... I was luck and found one of her offspring this summer... she will have a het albino buddy to partner up with in the spring!

[kerensa]

she has pretty colors, and looks like she has a bit of attitude.

[-MARWOLAETH-]

A fitting name for such a beauty.

[ssssnakeluvr]

she has pretty colors, and looks like she has a bit of attitude.

Thanks! and yes, she does have an attitude!!!

[CrazyHedgehog]

Welcome back, Inge. :)

Thankyou!

[Dan72]

Don do you have a thread where you posted pics of her previous litters? Very curious about her and her offspring, looking at other threads it seems she has produced some gorgeous snakes. Would you mind if anyone on the forum who has some of her babies posted pics of them here? Sort of a central view point.

Amy looked like a normal iowa when I got him from Don but turned orange as he matured. He's from Cariads 2009 litter.

I cant put the image here for some reason. the "ok" button isnt responding. ???? heres a link instead

One of my favorite snakes on this forum, thanks for sharing Richard, Amy is sweet.

[-MARWOLAETH-]

So Amy ended up being a bloke?:D

[Greg'sGarters]

She is BEAUTIFUL!!!

[Dan72]

Giving this a bump only because I brought her up in Kashgarter's 100% thread. Awesome snake, always thought Richards Amy was a very beautiful snake, one of Cariads offspring. So here you had a snake that was producing both albino types along with the x-mas morphs. Not sure if she could also produce anery or axanthic. Is there a thread that discussed Cariads litter where she was produced and what the dame and sire were? Was she Dons doing?

[Dan72]

Okay, so just did more reading thru old posts of Don's. If you take a look at Don's massive garter thread the answer to who Cariads parents are there. Also they were produced by Felzer (surprise) so when the guys that know what they're doing say that the offspring have the potential to create a abundance of morphs, trust that they do know what they are talking about and buy a pair of hets;) Also does anyone still keep in contact with Jason (Chondro)? I checked his page he hasn't been on the forum in a couple years but he has Richard's Amy along with other siblings that descend from this Cariad line which descend from work of Felzer, just wondering if Jason was still in the game and working with this line of snakes still? Anyone have him thru Facebook or another forum?

[Tommytradix]

i have red radix that are het iowa and nebraska albinos which produce xmas albinos for both albinos. didnt you see my for sale ad on here? i let them go cheap too but i kept the higher red pair that produced the nebraska that is going to be almost solid red lol scott produced them in 2012

[Dan72]

Yes, did see your add and kicked myself when they were gone (that's why I contacted you about what you had left when we worked out what we did because I did not want to kick myself again. All I know is if next season you hit on the stuff I think you'll produce I'm going to need to work some OT this winter and create some space in this house. I wonder what the kids bedroom would look like converted into a snake room? Now what to do with the kids......hmmmm.
