    Solicitors welcome

    This kind of solicitor is more than welcome to come around the Ranch.
    While I was in the big snake room this morning I noticed some movement at the big window. This female radix was up at the glass. I guess I understand why as the weather has turned cold and wet. We had a morning temp of 42 degrees. No wonder she wanted inside. Probably saw and smelled the worms and pinkies.
    She has an interesting and beautiful pattern. I love the extra black on the belly scutes.

    If I disguise myself as a radix, would you buy this great set of encyclopedias??

    Hey she was just reading that neon sign above your house that reads, "All garters welcome here. All you can eat buffet. Good food, real cheap!"

    BTW I had a friend whose ball python would get out frequently and end up in her bed. Problem was, it HATED her hubby! Too much competition I guess!

    I find it amazing how they trust once that fear is gone. I have a number of radixes with no startle response.
    Reaching for them, touching them doesn't phase them at all. I have a few I blow raspberries on. They don't even flinch. My kids always say "Dad, your crazy" every time I do it.
    I do remember the first time I did the raspberry thing. The snake spun around and gave me this look like "what the heck was that" Now, they don't even care.

    Re: Solicitors welcome

    lol now that true love!

    when it comes to trust I always find the females warm up faster to me.(and yes i mean snakes lol) a perfect example if that copper color maritime ive posted pics of; when i first had her she would quickly hide when i opened the enclosure. That was until she fed for the first time, the very next day when i opened the enclosure she came to the edge and when I held out my hand she slithered right into it, shes done that everyday since
