Hello... I was wondering if some of you ringneck herpers could help me out here. I was out herping yesterday....Found a few things then flipped some carpet and found my 1st ringneck... it is really cool looking..and it did some hella werid sh!t with it's red tail it was funny.. 5 minutes later flipped another board and got another ringneck... looks different than the 1st though.. I was told that these things dont even range here... im in Houston tx.. What kind could they be..? they look to be 2 different kinds... what do they eat..? how do you sex them..? can they be housed together..? DO i need to post pix 4 you guys to be able to tell me what kind they are.. or can u tell me just by the locale of them... ne info would be awesome.. thanx.. Mike

How were they undoubtedly regals? Couldn't of been because of location.... I saw the pics, because of the location, the size of the snakes, the patterns, etc. I determined them to be Mississippi Ringnecks, stictogenys, not regalis. There are 3 sub-species in Texas, and in plenty of places there, they all intergrade together.
