Hello Mack
I undestand your interest w/ these enameled jewels, they are really facinating critters.
I have seen Glades offer them from time to time, so talk to them about getting on a waiting list.
While my Diadophis folder is now ~ 80 Mb & 550 files in some 52 folders, I wont take the time to provide you any info. beyond what you asked for here. One day...I intend to produce a monograph on various aspects of this spps life history.
I can tell you this tho., I have never observed constriction of prey, & their venom is quite virulent as their squamate prey dies faster than when bitten by a coralsnake! Death occurs via respiratory paralysis. While they differ from the N ringnecks in that wild regalis never attempt to bite [humans]...I wouldnt let a habituated captive chew on me for any length of time!
In the meantime ck out:
Gehlbach, F. Evolutionary Relations of Southwestern Ringneck Snakes;
Herpetologica 30: June 1974 pp. 140-148
Degenhardt et al; Amphiibians & Reptiles of New Mexico
Fowlie; Snakes of Arizona
& of course good ole Google.
Saludos RxR
