OK,
Out of all the snakes I've ever kept, I have never hibernated a snake. I doubt any of you have hibernated a Northern Ringneck Snake but, does anyone know what the temp. for the tank should be?

Will,
I have successfully kept Ringneck snakes over the years. I have bred them, fed them, hatched laid eggs and had many many specimens. I have had a Albino Ringneck Snake, it was easier to care for than yours because it was an adult. I have 2 baby Northern Ringnecks right now, I have had them both eat earthworms on many occaisions, the female ate 3 within 4 days last week. I can easily tell you how to take care of your snakes, alot of people after talking to me decide it would be good if I had them because my knowledge of these. I know alot about Diadophis punctatus and I want you to email me at Helmz614@aol.com

If you've successfully bred Ringnecks in the past how did you do it without brumating/hibernating them? Just curious.

And to answer your question, try the mid to lower 50's.

I never hibernated a snake that I bred. All the Ringnecks that I had that bred I caught in Spring AFTER they hibernated.
