Ribbon on the Ranch

[EasternGirl]

Steve does have some really big radixes out there on the ranch! Shyblue is a good sized girl herself.

With the right amount of water, sunshine and TLC and you get big T.radix girls.

her darker stripes even look like they're blue. a very deep blue. her coloration is so striking, i wonder why that was selected for.

Perhaps it makes them more difficult to see in water?

[aquamentus_11]

yeah that could be it. i wonder if there's a correlation between the darker-colored snakes and a more aquatic lifestyle......

What a fine looking girl!
I think the good company she is keeping is helping her to relax- they set a good example for her to follow.

The darker color may help them heat up after the water time. Just an idea.

If there is a correlation, that's probably what it is about. Water should cool them down pretty quickly.

ah yeah never thought of that one....

just had to get rid of my ribbon, btw i wound up finding mites and while i could have treated her, i decided it wasn't fair to Hydra to put her at risk. like we said before: better safe than sorry.

i still can't get over how big shy is for a ribbon. i didn't think they got that big; she looks like a big female garter size-wise
