The joy of Radix

[Char361979]

He looks like satan snake in that pic with the red eyes! Hope we don't discover in the next shed that there are some 6's hidding out under those scales! Lol!

He's a cutie! Satan spawn eyes and all....

nice looking radix, I've not got any yet but I have a feeling I will have to add some to the family soon

Adora Belle (Char told me off for spelling her name wrong earlier in the thread) had a quick trip to a vet today. We thought she had an infection below her vent, but the vet thinks it's not something that needs antibiotics at the moment. I'll be keeping a close eye on her and she will be back to a vet again if it looks like it's changing. The vet we saw treats reptiles, but not overly experienced with snakes, particularly garters. There's not many vets that have seen
a lot of garters around here...
She didn't want salmon this evening, but Lipwig ate like a pig.

Twice today I have opened Lipwig's viv, put my hand on the non-viv side of the door, and he has slid out of his own accord straight on to my hand, coiled himself round my fingers and sat there. When it comes to going back in he just won't get off my hand. Once you pry him off he turns right around and tries to get back on. We have 3 male snakes now and had become resigned to the fact that it is only our 5 girls that are at all interested in us. He is even more attentive than them! Radix are awsome. I've been spoiled for any other snake by garter as a whole, but radix my have spoiled me for other garters.

They can do that. It's just one of their powers.

Pure, unadulterated bias.

Looks like a couple more months and I will be getting one or two from Steve...I can't wait...I have heard such wonderful things about radixes.

Guilty as charged and sentenced to life surrounded by T.radix

Sounds like a good life sentence to me.
