Today was feed the big snakes day. Everyone ate but I thawed out way too many mice.
My big female garters didn't seem to mind my mistake.
This first photo is of my largest T.s.parietalis(Red-sided garter) Since coming to the Ranch last Fall she has beeb doing great.
She's the one that gave me those(44) albino het. babies.
The second photo is my other T.s.p. female. She's a very strong eater. Hoping she'll breed next Spring.

Note to self. Never stick your wet hand in an enclosure with starved radixes(It had been 24 hours since their last meal)
This is LG(Lucky's Girl) She wasn't the only snake(Enforcer, Tourette and Daisy) to grab my hand but the other let go as soon as they realized it wasn't food.
LG made a point of wrapping around my wrist so that my hand couldn't get away and she repeatedly drove her teeth deeper in if I resisted. When it was apparent she wasn't going to let go I put my hand in the water dish. A few seconds later she changed her mind.
Gotta love a hungry radix.

She looks like she's thinking "Wow! This is the biggest pinky I've ever sunk my teeth into!"

When it's feeding time she goes into a zone. A zone of death for anything in her way.
She's my fighter in the group. She attacks anyone who she thinks has food. Grabs them by the head.
She's been this was since birth.
You wouldn't want to be marooned on an island with this girl.

Just like Snap The almost ate Thumbelina, and there wasn't even food in my room, hadn't eaten in 3 days. One of the reasons I keep her alone, that and one on one time... That may happen after the shed. She really just wants to kill anything that moves right now...
