Probably among the most commonly encountered snakes in the wild, the plethora of small terrestrial snakes still contain many undescribed species. Not commonly kept as pets because of diestary issues and their burrowing nature, they still represent many interesting and sometimes colorful species. Here you may post messages, questions, and issues pertaining to the keeping, housing, health, husbandry, and diet of various small species of snakes such as Ringneck snakes (Diadophis), Red-bellied & Brown snakes (Storeria), Worm snakes (Carphophis), Blind snakes (Ramphotyphlops/Leptotyphlops), Black-headed snakes (Tantilla), Ground snakes (Sonora), Pine Woods snakes (Rhadinaea), Short-tailed snakes (Stilosoma), and many others.
