    Strange shedding problem

    My lastest group of radixes born have thrown me for a loop. Their housing was the same as the other hundreds of babies born here at the Ranch. The problem is, not a single one of them shed like other babies. I had to soak them twice and help them shed. This is a first for me. All the other babies born here have shed within the first hour of life and without any assistance from me. These babies appear normal in every way. I don't know what to think. Any thoughts would be great.

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

    No different than others. I'm very uniform with my enclosures and I thought I had things set just right, until now.

    Do you know the background of their parents? Check their scales and see if they're rougher.

    Funny you should bring up the parents. I have no idea. She was a w/c rescue. Her choice was eviction or death. Luckily I got the call.

    I got my first rescue/eviction call from Omaha today. Apparently the word is getting out.
