Hello All!
I'm new here. I just got a ribbon snake recently, and came across this forum looking for answers to questions. Yall all are so helpful, I ahve already had a few questions answered without even posting!
I have a quick question about the forum and a couple about my little Proximus.
I tried to ask my question in husbandry but never saw the post show up...is it because I'm new and it will show up later or did i mess up and not post it?
Anyways, my ribbon is approx. 18 inches long, and I'm wondering about how many silversides I can feed him per feeding and how often. And also can he live on silversides alone or does he need more variety and additional supplements?(I know each animal is its own indivual but i'm sure yall can give me a better guess than my own)
Thank you

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

Welcome! to the best forum around!
Silvers sides are a good staple to base a diet on, but variety is always good. Try mixing some pinkie mouse chunks in some feeding n some dew worms/night crawlers in another feeding. Being a Ribbon snake though I can see silver sides n worms being a favorite
Love to see some pictures of your snake!
If you have any more questions or even just want to talk about your snake or anything at all, feel free.
