    Re: Home herping.

    While I was working in the house(stupid me) my girls did a little herping in the back yard. They found this little female in an area I planted native grasses. We put a hide in that location and apparently it worked. Nice looking brown phase, again.
    I've got radixes everywhere. This little girl is going to stay for awhile. She needs to be taught some manors. She musked me and that's not aloud here at the T.radix Ranch. Proper, a radix must always be proper. I'm amazed at how this brown phase is dominating the area.

    Found this little female in my native grass area. Such a pretty little snake.


    I wasn't painting out back. The little nut pooped all over my hand. I didn't know such a small snake could poop so much.


    Here's the native grass area. My wild radixes love it.

    Re: Home herping.

    While doing some landscaping by one of the basement windows, I saw a larger pile of radix poop in the window well area. Looking through the leave I found this adult female. This would be one of the reasons for all the brown phase radixes I have in the area. Seems to be in good health. She's is a lucky snake since she's lost all but about 1/2 inch of her tail. More than likely she's gravid but just to early to see any signs. I put her back and she settled into her place. I'm sure I'll see her again before the radix year is up. She'll be easy to recognize with that very stubby tail.
    This area is radix heaven!

    I went out on my deck to enjoy the morning. Looking to the west I spotted this little male out wondering. After a few photos he took off and went under my enclosed deck.

    Great pictures! At first when I looked at the pictures of your snakes I thought mine was the same kind, but on closer examination I think our snake, Sammy, is T. elegans vagrans, the Wandering garter snake.
