In the night we went to a shop nearby to buy eggs. On the way back, Esme suddenly stopped, walked a bit back and looked on the ground. And there is was, a very little snake. The animal was dark green colored, olive, with a yellow band around its neck. Since I have been talking about having a snake as a pet ever since I am in Mexico, I decided to take the animal back home.

i found a baby ringnecked snake in my back yard, what do I feed it and where can I find the food, or buy it.
I fould a baby ringneck snake in the road. It's only 4" long and my Mom and I put some small crikets and meal worms in it's tank but it hasn't eaten them . It's been 3days- we are worried. We'd like to keep him but don't want him to die- should we let him go or do you have any suggestions? the worms are bigger than he is. Thank you-
My experience with the ringneck snake is that it doesn't adapt easily to captivity if at all. If it doesn't eat within several weeks I recommend to release it in a safe place as close to the spot where you found it as possible.
The juvenile in the article died because it got bitten by ants. Later I kept an adult ringneck snake, but it refused to eat, so I decided to release it close to where it was found.
I just found a baby, wiggling on my living room floor. I plan on keeping it. I just got a terrarium and put the snake and some pinhead crickets in. I have a scorpion, so the crickets are readily available. If it doesn't eat them, I'll try earthworms. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
My dad just found a baby ringneck snake today, I cleaned out a tank for it and put it in, but i have no idea what to feed it... Its tiny and its mouth isnt very big...I'd love to keep it, I already named it and its in my room, but I dont want to starve it. Earthworms would be too big, I dont know about pinhead crickets, and I dont think it could catch a fruitfly. So what can it be fed? I have had a ringneck before, but it was a young adult, I already own a snake, but hes bigger. I love my new snake he's SOOO tiny, I really need to know what to feed it.
Hi Samantha - my experience is that ringneck snakes are hard to keep, so if the baby doesn't eat anything I recommend to release it. As far as I know they don't eat crickets, but I might be wrong. You might want to try smaller worms.
My husband found a ring neck snake about 10 inches long. My children would like to keep it, but I am worried it might die because it is not eating. I put a worm and a cricket in his tank and he has not touched them. I have also provided him a water supply and I have observed him drinking water. Will he eat dried blood worms or do they have to be alive? Any suggestions would be helpful, Thanks, Misti
i found a ring neck snake in my back yard and i dont know what kind of light to provide for it normally i would put a lamp from petco on it any suggestions? my ring neck snake likes baby crikets.
I have a ring snake and i just fed it some meal worms and it just wont eat them!!! i really want to keep this snake and i don't want it to die any suggestions would be helpful!! it has a perfect environment it is barely the second day I've had it!
I have a baby ringneck snake and just finished feeding it. I found it about a week ago and it is doing very well. For those of you who are having problems with your ringnecks, let me give you a little bit of advice. Ringnecks are very shy creatures and are very picky eaters. I would suggest that for those of you who who have been having a hard time getting your snake to eat, i know excactly how you feel. My last ringneck wouldnt eat for me either, but i have found that if you hand feed the snake by holding it in one hand and bringing a WORM up to your snakes mouth, it will gobble it right down. I would suggest worms for snakes that have just been captured just as a starting food. They can acctually eat these all of their lives. Worms are very nutritious and will grow rapidly while eating them. These snakes will sometimes eat twice a week but a suggested once a week would mostlikley be better. When your snakes eyes turn a sort-of opaque color, that means it is getting ready to shed it's skin. Snakes will not eat at this time. Whenm your snake sheds its skin, make sure that both of the scales on its eyes have come off. if the havent, put some vasiline over the eye to soften the scale up, then carefully pull the scale off of the eye. if this does not work, you need to take your snake to the vet. If you have any further questions about ringneck snakes, just put a comment up on my myspace. i will have to accept you as a friend first, but anyway here is my myspace address(put this up where you type in websites)

If your ring =neck is not eating u should probobly let him/her go.
the eat earth warms and if the do not eat there earth worms try to rub them on a salamander a see if the eat it then.
you should feed him very small pices of worms and when he gets used to it feed him bigger ones and he should be fine.

I sound a baby ringneck snake about to get washed down a sewer drain in the rain. All I saw was his bright yellow stripe. He is living in a terrarium I set up outside with moist soil, a waterbowl and place to hide. After I gave him a few days to get use to his environment (And me a few days to gather information on how to care for him) I put an earthworm in my left hand, broke it in half, and stuck his nose in it. He gobbled it right up. I will feed him every couple of days. Everything I read on the internet suggested they wouldn't eat very well in captivity. Not only does he eat very well, but he seems so accustomed to his environment. I must say, he is a very beautiful, gentle creature, and he has made me a convert for snakes.
