it's been a while since I've attempted to keep a baby northern ringneck, I used to keep them in very small containers with moss and bark, and I'd wet some of the moss every couple days. I'd place worms on the top of the moss once a week. and for the rest of the week I'd leave them alone. eventually the snakes would learn that opening the lid often meant food.

I've gotten baby northerns to eat guppies, worms, tadpoles, salamanders, and baby toads.



ringneck snakes are difficult to keep, especially baby ones, you're probably better off letting it go.
