    A little spoiled.

    My group of babies born to my high red radix(Nova) were fed tonight. I cut up a bunch of night crawlers and headed towards their enclosure. They were out waiting since I had the fan on in the big snake room. All the prisoners were at their bars wanting fed.
    I opened up and placed the food dish inside. This isn't normal as i usually hand fed this group. They ignored it and came to me. I tried to shew them to the food dish but it wasn't working. I would pick them up as they came to me and put them in the food dish. They would grab a bite then turn and come back to me. I guess I have them conditioned the rotten little beggars.

    I got another good look at a little male red phase named Rudolph. Wow, is he coloring up. Just what I was looking for. A high red male radix. Life is good.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    it's like J wanting flying food. When he first came here from James he was used to being tweezer fed .... he still insists on it from time to time.

    My garters are tweezer fed 90% of the time. Normally it's not a problem to feed them from a dish, but as long as there's movement outside the enclosure, they completely ignore it.
