Tonight in the big snake room I was doing some spot, treat feeding. I was having trouble locating my lone Wandering so I employed the use of a flash lite. She was located and all was fine. I watched back over to put the flash lite in its charger when I saw the tail of a baby radix sticking out from under the foam pad that is on the floor. I thought to myself, what a silly little radix trying to hide from me. I pulled the foam pad away from the wall and instead of finding 1 baby radix, I found 3.
It felt like I hit the lottery, well maybe not that good. The 3 little scrubs were in great shape but were thirsty. I'm pretty sure they belong to a momma who gave birth in one of my big enclosures. Those converted computer server boxes aren't baby escape proof. This I learned quickly. The little scrubs have been out and one their own for about 3 week.
I put them in with their sibling and called it a good night.
Going herping around here is easy. I never have to leave my house.

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

Re: Jackpot
How do I get snakes to show up in my basement?
Or at the door?
Or my yard for that matter?
I am soooo jealous

Re: Jackpot
A converted computer server boxe... my first vivarium is one.
But my little little female infernalis was early break and stayed trapped in the structure of one week. I did not realize she had passed by or.
So now more holes (all joints have been chewed), but she has big problems of the vertebrae, increases with age.
