Hello, Below is a link to a care sheet for ringnecks. In my experience, they can be very stubborn to start eating. If you have access to the local salamanders, they usually will take these readily. If you find that the snake just doesn't want to eat, I'd suggest releasing it. Their great snakes but very secretive. You usually won't see them unless your up late at night (with the lights off). Good luck, Scott Sullivan.
