Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Ring neck snakes
I'm a little confused here. My manager called me and said he found a ring neck snake in his pool. I told him I'd take it and he brought it to me. It was black and looked like a typical every day ring neck snake. I told him to watch for more because I have noticed that were there is 1, there are generally more. So few days later he comes into work with a bucket and sure enough he found another one swimming in his pool. He opened the bucket to show me and WOW there were 11 extra snakes in the bucket! The female snake gave birth to Live young. Ring neck snakes lay eggs according to all records I can find online? Now this new female is also a rusty red color-but her offspring rang from the typical black with a golden band to her rusty color! I have attached a few photos of the adults and of 2 of the babies. sadly 2 of the babies were still born but the remaining 9 are active and have already pooped and I through some pin head crickets in with them but haven't seen any of them eat yet. The adult female seem very placid and I put a bunch of crickets in the adults tank last night and awoke to find them all gone-but it may have been the black ring neck who ate them.
Am I wrong about the ID of the female? She is the same size as the black ring neck but she most certainly had been 1 snake when put into the bucket and a few hours later she was not alone.
I will probably be releasing the whole family in a few days-far away from swimming pools. But first I want to feed them up a little and make sure everyone is doing good.

Looks like a Florida Brown Snake (Storeria victa).

You don't have to take care of these little earth snakes. They need to be released immediately into their natural habitat.

Thats because the Florida Brown Snake (the snake that gave birth), there babies look "almost" like a ringneck. Just let them go. No need to care for them

Wow, this is a little off-topic but I don't think I've seen two posters (three including me) in one thread that live in little Hernando Co. FL.
If you all ever get out herping, shoot me a PM!

its ok it is hard to tell cuz the babies look SOO much like the adult snakes! I did end up letting them all go after a few days. The female brown snake I kept until she proved to be to good at getting lose. I was freaking out searching all over for her, looked up and she was coiled around a light! So I took her out to a nice area that had plenty of leaf litter, trees, and let her go. but she was pretty cool and way more mellow then the ring neck!
