Will----Your Ringnecks.....

HerpHelmz Nov 17, 2003 03:13 PM

How big is the tank you have the snakes in? 10 gallon?
Do you have a hot rock or a heating pad?
Do you have worms smaller than the snakes? Like 3/4 length?
Do they have alot of hiding spots?
A waterbowl?
All this stuff is important in keeping baby Ringnecks, especially that albino, in 2 or 3 years are you going to consider breeding it to produce more albinos? Not many have had an albino Ringneck, mine died about a year and a half after I got it. I wanted to breed it too. Have you gotten any offers for that snake? Would you even consider selling it?

Hi Michael,

The baby ringnecks are in an opaque ten gallon rubbermaid tub with a screen lid for ventilation. The snakes bask under a 30 watt incandescent spot light daily. The light goes off at night. The snakes have access to corkbark and a 2-3 layer of dry sphagnum moss in which to burrow and hide. The lowest layer of substrate is slightly moist soil. They are seen basking and exploring daily. If I can establish these babies I hope to raise them and possibly breed the albino to his sibling if they are in fact a pair, so I really have no plans to sell them. Thank you for your interest.

If Will was smart he'd know that an albino Ringneck Snake will go for alot of money. Even if it would produce babies, we have 3 years atleast before we could even find out. Trust me, I want a little baby albino just as bad as you do.
