Speaking of growth, I thought my Radix were fast growing, they got longer faster than the whole collection.

Then I got MoJo (My blackneck) she passed the radix, both in length and in girth.

Going to be big for garter snakes.

Some of them seem to be on a fast track. Don't they?

Like you Steve, My experience has been with local specimens only, until this year when I got Thamn fever and started collecting others besides the Sirtalis Sirtalis (eastern) snakes from my yard.

I admit, one of the first species to catch my attention and interest were Radix

So when I spent the money purchasing my first ever "costly" garters, 2 of them were Radix.

Of the 4, The Melanistic and flame have both died from eating crap fish.

The radix, they just keep growing and thriving.

The radix are vibrant, healthy and eat like pigs..

One day I hope to see the babies they produce, it should be an interesting litter, since my radix babies are from albino bloodlines.

Sounds like it's worth waiting for. Good luck. Radix is the only snakes I have right now. I did have some ribbons visting for summer vacation but they are back home now. There are so many beautiful Garter but my heart belongs to the Radix. My first snake and probably my last. I have a long history with them.
