Ok, I found info on the Black Headed Snake.
None will even get to 16 inches in length.
They eat millipedes, spiders, centipedes, beetle larvae and other small insects. Most refuse to eat in captivity.
Females lay 1 to 3 eggs.
They are believed to be venomous for the same reason the Ringneck Snake is, large saber-like rear fangs.
They are also believed to be nocturnal.
In other words, not much is known.
