    Re: See through radix

    The great thing about this snake is how relaxed she has become.
    For the longest time I thought she would stay wild and skittish but now she like the rest of me girls, cool and relaxed.
    She's living with a gravid red phase(Boomerang) and gravid Dark phase(Honda). They were all bred with the same male(Mr. Mansley) who was a loaner stud.
    I didn't want to return the male as he was one of the calmest male radixes I've ever seen.
    His owner was very surprised by his change in attitude once he hit the Ranch. I guess he had always been wild for him.
    Maybe he was just worn out from servicing those 3 ladies
    Personally, I think it was the aroma therapy, deep messages, cable TV and all-you-can-eat buffet that won him over

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    I get that a lot, especially from people who keep them in tubs and/or heated reptile rooms which are often just too dang hot with no nightly cooling. Any snake can get mean when it's too warm. Too darn many people want "reptile rooms" for the novelty and then want to throw in snakes with different temperature needs, and keep them all at 90 degrees 24/7. I even found one guy that installed UV lights in the ceiling. You know, 7 feet up there where UV can't reach the snakes anyway.

    Can't prove it didn't contribute. I'll leave that one alone.
