Heather just took the dog out for a walk and I hear her calling me to come outside and check something out. Low and behold the tiniest snake I've ever seen. Found out it's a southern ringneck. The only get about 12 inches max. We're going to keep it and take care of it as undoubtedly someone in our apartment complex will eventually kill it [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img] We're gonna research on taking care of it. I have no idea what to feed a snake this small. Anyone know anything about them? Well here's the pic of the cute little guy or girl

Will, Heather, and Ayasha....and soon to be named southern ringneck

I have heard they can be difficult feeders in captivity...if it fails to feed, just release it a couple hundred yards away from the complex...

Yeah, thats what we read too, and plan to release him somewhere appropriate if we can't get him to eat in the next few days.

I know they eat worms, slugs, salamanders, small lizards, etc in the wild, but I'm kind of at a loss as to what to try feeding the little fella while he's so small. I don't really have anywhere I can go digging for worms, so I'm looking for something store bought. I read something about them not eating crickets or meal worms unless you cut the heads off (the worms and crickets, not the snake [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] ). Any ideas why? The smell? movement?

Does anyone have any experience feeding small colubrids like this? Any suggestions on what to try? Please help. We'd like to keep the little fella, but definitely don't want to chance hurting the little cutie.

Thanks,
Will, Heather, Ayasha and the really itty bitty one with no name...

YUP, they be squiggly lil bug eaters basically. YES J they are majorly a PITA to feed also. We had some recently that came to demise due to the worms we gave em. Dang things turned into beetles and I thought that they had been eaten..UGH. They hadn't been but has burrowed under the substrate and then went beetle up and attacked the snakies. I'm not a bug person at all, my kids touch the bugs we use as feeders for stuff here, so can't remember which worm it is that does that [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img] So I now just don't use any of them worms at all for anything here.
These lil guys will eat tiny worms that you get at the bait shops though [ eartworm type things]. Try that.
