    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Help me determine the name of a snake species

Tell me the maximum size of a snake that can eat ants.

Or

can a 2-3+m snake eat ants (partial diet, not necessarily the main one)

And what kind of snake is this?

this is for my research, if such a snake existed, it would explain a lot
 
The only taxon I know of that is myrmecophagous is Scolecophidia, the blindsnakes. They're all under a meter, and there are a few hundred species.

I'm willing to bet -- based on the fact that nearly no one keeps them, and that insectivores present nutritional challenges that would be further magnified by the specialized diet -- that these aren't realistic long term captives, if that's why you're asking.
