    The hunt is on.

    Tonight, while I was trying to organize(HaHa) some of my basement I found this item over by my water softner. Apparently, a rather large radix is living in my basement. I've started leaving food and water in a couple locations. I hope I find this girl soon. From the looks of the skin I would say she's gravid.

    You could build a snake trap similar to the one I invented.
    People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

    Re: The hunt is on.

    While pulling a late-nighter doing some modification to one of my big enclosures I found 2 baby radixes on the floor. I don't have any missing so these must be babies from the big girl that I haven't found, yet.
    The two little ones were very thirsty and each eat an earthworm. Maybe the radix season will never be over for me. I sure wish I could find the mother.

    Make that 3 babies. I found one in my sump pump bucket. I don't think its going to make it. Poor little scrub.

    No need for a heat lamp. I looked under the refridge and the freezer and saw a number of sheds wrapped around the condenser. The food just needs to be close to those item and they'll get some.
    I think I will set one of my set traps out.
    My biggest concern for them is getting them fresh water.
