While feeding a few breakfast this morning there was a misunderstanding. My little scrubs thought I was giving them the bird.
They didn't appreciate it very much and let me know it.
They really are very aggressive eaters. It only takes a few moments for them to realize it's not what they expected and they release.
Being home with 5 sick kids does have its advantages. A little extra radix time.

Thick old skin. Little tiny teeth. It's more like their teeth get snagged on the skin, rather than penetrate

I've seen Tremors too many times to take this very lightly!

Re: Misunderstanding
Now, Steve... even with extensive training I really don't think they're going to make great attack animals
I can just see you in your cruiser with a radix basking in the back window
TamiOh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

I think you're right. But imagine 200 full grown ones. Originally Posted by jitami

I would tell the suspect "Don't run or I'll release my radixes" Not sure my Sheriff is ready for such a unique idea.Steve

Re: Misunderstanding
LOL... would be fun to watch, though! First the suspect gets that "huh? what? radishes?" look and then the lightbulb moment as snakes flood from the car. LOL
