T.radix Ranch Spotlight

[guidofatherof5]

This is Tourette. She was born on the Ranch and struggled as a baby. She had a head tick that interfered with her eating.
My Vet. felt it was epilepsy or tourette's. Hence her name.
With much TLC Tourette has become a big female radix and is one of my favorite snakes.
She still suffers from these head ticks from time to time but appears to be doing well. As she matured they became fewer and fewer.
Tourette is a beautiful green head radix with orange on her laterals. She gets this coloring from her mom(Charlotte,R.I.P.).
Her father(Scar,R.I.P.)was was a very special snake.
I've talked enough.
I introduce to you our girl "Tourette"

She is a Big girl and very pretty too.

And as sweet as can be. She'll sit with you during a movie and just chill, in a manor of speaking.

Rather then singling out any one of these wonderful girls I thought I would spotlight the entire group.
This group gets a lot of interaction and it has paid off. Feeding time is a lot of fun as they all think they should be fed first.
Their numbers increased by one as this young radix needs to learn to trust more. She was a w/c from my deck last year and needs to understand the way things work around here. I'm looking forward to her breeding next Spring. Rudolph will be the male that I've chosen for her.
She is a very beautiful young snake and I look forward to her growing up with us.

[RedSidedSPR]

The red one looks like some kinda parietalis!

On 12/26/11 This young lady went into an adult female enclosure for some training. She was having trouble trusting me.
Since then I've seen her watching the other snakes and becoming more and more bold/confident in her dealings with me.
Today, she came right out to me looking for some food and this evening she came out to me again.
I was able to pick her up and hold her without any problems.
She is a good, smart radix.

That's awesome! Too bad we don't live closer to each other...I would send Cee Cee and Seeley over for a little Steve Snake Boot Camp!
