Eastern Snakes Forum
[ Reply | Eastern Snakes Forum ]
To ask a question about a snake, don't reply to this post, go to the forum home page and start a new post. Your question will get a lot more exposure. Please give us an idea of where you live, as reptiles can often be identified only by locality!
Please do not place messages about killing a snake, and asking what kind it is you have killed! That is like going onto a message board about dogs and telling about torturing one to death, and asking what kind of breed it was. You will likely get "flamed", and likely by the forum owner, depending on his mood that day.
A note about head shape in snakes: Head shape is a totally useless character for identifying a snake, and has nothing to do with whether the serpent is or is not venomous (poisonous). Many harmless snakes, especially when young, have rather large heads. Please describe color, pattern, markings, and habitat where the snake was found. The shape of the head will not help us in any way.
Thank you.

I hope you let it go. Ringnecks are notoriously difficult to keep, and usually die in captivity. If you could find a Corn Snake, (also called Red Rat Snake in the pet trade) in a local pet store, you would have a wonderful and quite lovely pet, and an easy keeper. You might have to save a bit of allowance, as they cost upwards of $50.00, but they are well worth it.
