These photo's were not taken with my camera, seeing my charger is missing. therefore, they will not be as high quality!

first... the BUTLERS ARRIVED TODAY!!! oh so precious and CUTE!! he sent me 5 of them unsexed... and they turned out to be the perfect ratio... 2 boys 3 girls!!

And here are my Eatern Blacknecks from Joanna! theyre smokin! the picture of both of them together is the only picture that comes close to capturing their colors.. the others are washed out.

a friend also sent me this adult pair of Radix... for just the shipping cost! He wants me to get them feeding consistently... they are mine to keep, but if they produce this year he gets 4 babies! Pretty awesome deal if you ask me!
the female:

The male:

My female Similis from scott just shed... she sure is blue for being so little!

2 tham radix
1 Chicago Tham s. semifasciatus
2 elaphe vulpina
1 gray tiger sallie
4 Aphonopelma hentzi
2 G rosea
1 Haplo minax

Those are all F-I-N-E.
I can't pick which one I like best, though the blacknecks and fitchii are awesome.
You've got some nice coloration on that female water snake.
I'm interested in knowing if anyone has ever bred those egglaying oriental garters.
I've heard imported adults have a high mortality rate.

Third Eye

They have a VERY high mortality rate... I went through 3 (bought at the same time) before I finally got this one, which is healthy, parasite free, and vigorously eating. The guy I got this one from had males too... I kick myself for not getting one. I am shooting to breed as soon as I find a healthy male... they aren't actually related to garters at all, but their husbandry is extremely similar. They are called indonesian garters impl because they look so much like a garter, and are very common in their homeland. They are rear fanged, considered harmless... some of the other keelbacks are mildly dangerous though.

Very very nice . The flames are really coloring up nicely, as is the similis.

Albino garter snake

WOW! That's some Killer animals you have there!!I had no idea that radix got that large!I have a really colorful male from Dan Eby but, he doesn't seem to be growing very fast,maybe I need to feed him more often. Jeff

They are all very, very nice Shannon, I really like the fitchii, and that similis is going to be a nice one with lots of blue, and of course the flames command attention, especially that red male. What is the length and weight of your female radix?
