T. radix pics

[sschind]

Here are a couple of T. radix I picked up. I had never paid much attention to plains garters before but of the ones I have seen I don't remember there being as much red in them. As I am finding out though, red is a pretty common color in garters. (My melanistic easterns are supposed to be het for flame.) the radix are two males but that doesn't matter since radix is native to Wisconsin I can't breed them anyway still, if anyone knows where I can get a similar looking female nothing says I can't give them away.

These guys were even more uncooperative than the Blacknecks. I had to put them in a high deli cup and let them get a little tired out so they would settle down.
