Tonight I went and picked up a radix from a fellow keeper that didn't have much interest in keeping Thamnophis. It is like nothing I have ever seen before. What is your opinion on what this thing Is?

Re: Radix that I have taken over care for
It's hard to say with young Radix. I've seen some very light colored ones produced in the past. I can't wait to see how this little gem colors up. Could be xanthic!

To be honest I would be happy either way. Due to legalities of my state, I am not sure this could make it into the hobby even if it is genetic.

Agreed! I hope all is well with you Joe! I know it's been awhile since we spoke.

. Nice pickup Ant! Is this a captive bb animal? Could be hypo. Even though garters are for the most part polymorphic. Male or female? Either way, this is a keeper. Good luck with it. Originally Posted by AntTheDestroyer

I agree with Joe. Light phase normal. Beautiful, by the way.

Albert, thank you. It is a wild caught animal. As I have seen many radix in Colorado and none of them looked anything like this, I agree there is a good possibility this guy is hypo melanistic. I have not had the chance to sex it yet.

Nice. I can't wait to see what sex it is and how it does for you. Amazing looking reptile.
