James, that's a fantastic photo enrty of the Radix. You almost made me "chicken out" of entering a photo.

Thank you, Sid! You're very kind..... but I have to tell you, it's a mock-up.
The water is in a pie dish.... the reflected greenery is herbs from the supermarket. The picture is taken indoors!

I like to trust what people say, but...something's fishy here!

Nothing fishy, LeAnn. I'm being perfectly honest. Here is an earlier attempt (using a Florida Blue). At this point I hadn't found a way to make the reflection dominate the water..... so you can clearly see the pie dish!

haahahaha james that pic is ace and the fact it is done indoors makes it even better.
hope you didn't make a mess for Mrs adamantus!

So what kind of pie did you end up baking then????

(I'm amazed... I might even be forced to say... that was brilliant, James!!)

So now I'm thinking about this... wouldn't it be fun to set up a natural looking swimming tank... part land, part water, just to put them in once a week and let them swim if they so choose... (wheels turning!!) It could be planted so when the snakes aren't in it it's just a nice looking terrarium.
