    Big Male Radix

    I had one of the ladies from work approach me today. The first words out of her mouth were "If you don't come and get it, I'll kill it" That was all I needed to hear. After work I went to her house and located this little(Ha) male radix. When I first caught it I thought it was the skinniest adult female I had ever seen. My mind started thinking she might have parasites or maybe she has some other health issue. I checked the rest of the property for more and only located a baby female. After I got home I took the big one out for a check-up.
    To my surprize, this skinny girl is actually a big male. This is the largest male radix I've ever seen. He's twice as big as any of mine. He must be very old for wild standards. He's 29 inches long. I can't get a weight since my scale is missing. My kids say they have no idea where it's at.
    Well, here is the big boy. He is very calm and no musking.

    I just hand fed him 2 unsented pinkies. Been here for an hour and already hand feeding. I like this big guy. Not sure of a name, maybe Arnold.
    Gave him a 10 gal with a screened lid for his quarantine period. He's out and the kids are walking around the livingroom. He's moving around and not being startled. He's very calm.

    He's a very typical male radix only SUPER SIZED. If all you looked at was his head you would say it's a male. All the male head traits only on a larger scale. I could sit and watch this guy for hours. I think I will, bye.

    That's quite the handsome man. That dorsal stripe looks really saturated as well. Being from Denver, may I recommend Orange Crush? Just Crush for short? Maybe Sunkist.

    Orange crush is all ready spoken for. That's my 1957 Schwinn bikes name. I'll keep the others in mind, thanks.

    He's an amazing male. He is as tame as some that have been here from birth. He's a great snake. I'm glad he didn't get cut-up, that would have been a shame and a waste. Not to mention, cruel.
    She said she's afraid of them and doesn't want it attacking her. Attacking her. I tried to explain things to her but to no avail. I'll rescue a thousand of them before I let them get killed like that.
