Ok so I went to the repti-fair yesterday. The garters available where; Tetrataenia (believe me, I was tempted
but they were much to big to go with my radix) Proximus (To small, slender and also I believe that they are to different to go with radix. They climb much more, needs a bigger water area etc.) and the last candidates were two male Sirtalis Parietalis. After having a good look on both of them, I decided to buy the bigger of the two. Heīs actually -almost- as tall as my radix, but not quite there though. The main thing is, heīs much more thin (thinner?). So I have him in a petbox now (escape-proofed of course) and I have given him a heating-mat on one end of it as well as hideouts in both ends and a waterbowl in the middle of it all. The first two hours in there he was all over his cage, investigating everything. He also ate a piece of vitamine-supplemented fish-fillet. I take that as a very good sign. Of course I will try and convert him to eating pinkies , so that he can catch up in the girth-department.
Anyway, I know the whole issue on male/female here...but since they are both baby/juveniles and I havenīt decided if I should brumate them next winter, the whole mating-issue is something wich Iīm guessing wonīt be a "problem" until next year.
Feel free to comment on my thoughts!
