It's a bright, sunny, warm day here at the Ranch. Out off the back deck I counted 6 male radixes catching some sun.
They seem to be waiting for someone

How long did they wait before you chucked some worms at them?

They are not in the mood to eat.

Found some blood in Speckle's feces this morning. Not a good sign. Will contact the Vet. on Tuesday.

I was called out on a snake rescue today. Someone was cleaning up their yard and lifted a board to find many garter snakes under it. They didn't want to see them hurt so they called me to relocate them. I arrived and found one garter under the board. As small first year (last year) T.radix. I also found this Slugzilla. I removed it also. Both were relocated to my backyard.

Approximately 5 minutes ago I change the water and water dish in Enforcer's paddock. I just looked in there and saw Brownie come out of the water. I told her what a good snake she was for taking a bath and keeping clean. I then saw...........
Some please finish my story since we all know how they are.

It's been a good day here at the Ranch. Ny(female, T.s.concinnus - Red-spotted garter) arrived safely in the mail and she's already started eating for me. I also found 9 newborn radix scrubs. Mom is a nice red radix and I'm hoping dad is my high-red male. Time will tell.

I just did my before bed security sweep in the snake room. As I passed these newborn scrub's tub I lifted the hide to have a look at them. One of the little scrubs is opaque and showing some nice red. Born 22 days ago and one is showing red. I'm very pleased. I will wait for the shed to take place before I post a photo.
