    Midnite radix

    I thought I would post a few photos of Midnite. He is the darkest radix I have ever seen. His black is so different than anything I have ever had before. He stands out in the male enclosure he lives in. I have other dark morph radixes but this guy's black is something to see. No green or olive or brown or anything but black. My dream caught dark female will be his mate. Hope you enjoy.

    WOW, he's a very striking individual. A selective breeding project could really make a nice line of snakes outta that one!!! If you could find the right female... and selectively breed for both the black, and a high contrasting BRIGHT clean stripe... that would be BOMB!!!!

    There is something about high contrast and clean, well defined stripes that make a very stunning garter. He is a great looking garter. Hope he and his girl give you lots of nice babies. I, too, would like a picture of the whole snake.

    I love the two dots on his head, and the contrast between the dark and orange stripe is awesome! No wonder you call him Midnite!

    Re: Midnite radix

    Thank you to everyone for your comments. To be honest I wasn't sure what the response would be. I'm hoping the babies produced will be special.
