As we returned from church this morning Gabby spotted this very nice dark phase T.radix (Plains garter) female. I have been looking for a nice dark phase female. I have a couple nice males but have lacked a female until now.
The only problem is she has a injured/infected eye. I'm really not sure what is going on with this eye.
I'm going to give he a good soak in a shed box and see if some of this is a retained shed. In the second photo I pointed out what appears to be retained shed.
She musked me and is doing a lot of tongue flicking but isn't as active as I though she should be. She's in quarantine until something can be done about this eye. I certainly don't want an infection spread to the rest of my babies. I hope someday to have her in a breeding project.
Any input would be great.
