    A lack of radixes! I don't think so. Pulled back one piece of siding off the bottom of my deck and found these 6?7? however many. My deck must be radix central. 4 males 2 females. All beautiful. What a nice group of colors. Back under the deck they went. The word must be out "safety at the T.radix ranch".

    I wonder if they can smell the T. radix pheromones from inside your house...

    I never thought about that. Looks like I won't need to put a little red light outside.

    My deck isn't a normal deck. The sides are not open. Most people leave them open or use lattice. I had some leftover vinyl siding and enclosed the deck. It's dark and protected from the elements. Tomorrow, I'm putting a small security camera under there to get a look at the activity. It has built-in infrared for night viewing. I'll run it directly to my TV and dedicate a channel for the snakes. Should be interesting.

    Sorry, Don.

    Not enough to go around. If I start sending radixes to everyone then how can I enjoy them. Radixes are very hard to come by. I had to spend 2 minutes gathering up this group.
    When I see her again I hold on to her and give you a call. Was it a male or female you wanted? or both or more.


    Thinking about inventing a radix door. Kinda like the doggy door. Sure would make life easier for me. That way they could just come in and gone the groups.

    Amazing! Look at all those beauties! Our yard at our last house was like that, but the garters were all black.

    That would be fascinating to watch on camera. Maybe you could load the video up to youtube, then we could all watch them.

    I'm not at home. Kids and I are visiting the x-mother in law(Love her like my own mom) Had to do some Garter rescue since it was that or they would get the shovel. Wait until you see the beautiful radix I found. KNOCK OUT. Taking the kids kayaking after this, then home to post a picture. It's a male and all I needed to see was his head to know he was something special. WOW
