Re: Prairie Ring-Necked Snakes
From what I've heard they can be difficult to keep.

They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

Re: Prairie Ring-Necked Snakes
They are very pretty. I know nothing about them though. There is always wikipedia!

Re: Prairie Ring-Necked Snakes
Everything I've read makes it sound like more than I want to take on right now! Especially since I'm already planning a trip to the reptile show next weekend!

Re: Prairie Ring-Necked Snakes
They are mostly nocturnal, so my guess is they would be kind of boring to watch.

Re: Prairie Ring-Necked Snakes
They eat worms and salamanders and frogs too. They are very shy and mostly nocturnal. They can be active at twilight as well. (I'm just saying what wiki has on them)

Re: Prairie Ring-Necked Snakes
Yeah they eat lots of stuff. You can get them to eat worms. But chances are, if you were to catch one, he would only eat snakes. Plus they would need snakes often for a good diet. I wanted to keep some them when i use to see so many so I read up on care... Just not the snake I want to keep.

Re: Prairie Ring-Necked Snakes
Yeah I agree. They seem boring and could never use a snake as a feeder.
