The radix are coming on well. Particularly Lipwig.

Lipwig seems to have settled, comes out to see us when we are in the room, and eats very well. In fact, Lipwig is probably the most aggressive eater we currently have, he happily comes to the viv door to eat and actively looks for more. His feeding frenzy means that I have him marked down as being the deliverer of the next bite - he doesn't really look before going for it. On the other hand I was able to move his front third back into the viv when I'd finished feeding him (it's hard to close the viv doors when he's still hunting for more in the dish). When he's not in a feeding frenzy he's a lovely snake to handle. He's also had his first shed with us, all fine. Char missed the blue phase while I was away last week - being pregnant she's not handling the snakes as much as she was before. Anyway, his colours are fantastic straight after the shed.

Adora Belle hasn't been causing a bit of concern, and had a trip to the vet while I was away last week. Verdict is, that she isn't gravid, she's generally in good health, and there's something odd about her tail which isn't an infection. So thecvet thought it could be an old injury to the tail. He gave us some injections of anti-inflammatory (carprieve). I've discovered how tricky it is to deliver a subcutaneous injection to a snake that doesn't want it, and that you absolutely must put the needle in rear to front (if you go front to rear it ends up going deeper when the snake jumps forward).
Adora has eaten some salmon tonight, the first she's eaten since the pinky she took on the day she arrived.
She seems to be a snake that prefers to be out candidates being held.

So radix are still a joy.
