    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

the title basically tells what i need to know. This is for a tiny(5") ringneck snake that i found when a toad that i caught spit out. I found him in florida and was just wanting to know how to take care of him. Right now i have him in a little kritter keeper thing with moist peat moss and a piece of bark for a hide. Any help would be great, thanks a lot.
 
Your set up sounds fine. I think in Florida you have the southern subspecies. I've heard that they'll readily take worms and small fish. It sounds like he's lucky to be alive!

thats great!

thats great that you saved that southern ringneck snake I too find them in my back and front yard under paver's i also wanted to ask if it is normal for it to wipp it's tail a you and your set up is fine for now but if you want to upgrade to a bigger cage(this optional)feel free to do so!
 
if you dont no this then you must listen dont buy a viverium please, because the wedge is to big so he can easiliy get out just go for a regular terrarium but buy at least 4 or more clamps depending on his cage size and remember they love moist dirt or sphagnum moss and dont get anything fancy you no what i mean;)




hope i helped!
