    Re: Introducing Speckle

    Speckle is amazing. I just put her on the scale and she's 254 grams of rock solid radix. She's not gravid. She's radixzilla. She'll be moving up stairs soon. I would like to get her more family time. With the loss of Spot, Speckle will be going into the schools with me this fall.
    It's like holding a small Bull snake.

    Re: Introducing Speckle

    I had some time to work with Speckle this morning. She went off food for 1 month but has started eating again. She has always seem a very aggressive snake towards the other radixes so I had been keeping her by herself. I have since changed that idea and moved her in with a group of large female(Big Girl, Brownie,Inforcer,Lucky-lookalike) She's been doing great and seem to have blended in with those females. My girl Big Girl is a large radix(in my opinion) but with Speckle in there she seems so much smaller.
    I got a weight and length on Speckle today. 36 inches(3 feet) and 260 grams. Her size has always amazed me. She is the biggest radix I have ever seen and she came from right outside my front door. I have a beautiful light phase I'm going to breed her with next Spring. She looks like a Bull snake compared to the others. She appears to be a young snake and I hope to have her company for many years to come.

    And the snake is pretty cool too. That last pair of concinnus I had, the female reached 36 inches at around 10 years old. Took her another 10 years to get just about 6 more inches. Don't breed her and don't spoil her with a lot of food and I'm sure she'll be around for some years to come.

    Before you know it, you'll be saying "She's a real pleasure to have around" and "She gives great babies, also"

    But you'll talking about Gabby.

    I mean, she's growing fast! I have a 20 year old daughter that just had her first baby not too long ago. It sneaks up on you!
