Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I haven't seen one for a long time, I used to catch them all the time when I was little. I don't belive they get very big..the ones I found were probally a foot at the most. Very slender,
black and had one ring around their neck usually red or orange...I used catch them and they ate frogs if that helps. Thank you...

As far as finding them in the wild, they're around, just hard to spot because they're usually underground. People still find them in their gardens in South Florida.

As for buying one, not many people sell them because there is no market other than as coral snake food. I've seen a few for sale at one or two large reptile expos for $3-4 each. Glades Herp (gherp.com) has them on their price list for $8, under colubrids.

Probably southern ringneck snake (Diadophis p. punctatus)

Yes,.like previously stated, Southern Ringneck(D.p punctatus) They really like old leaf-litter, and the bottom of trash piles! They are very common even in big cities like Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. where I used to see them often in these environments. Doug
