Teeny tiny snakes - anyone keep them?

There's something amazing and mysterious to me about the various species of teeny tiny vertebrates, especially teeny tiny snakes. This morning out of curiosity I was looking up pictures of ringneck snake eggs and hatchlings; I'd be so excited to find one in the wild, but I imagine I'd have to look pretty darn hard, because they are extremely small.
So it's got me wondering, do any of y'all keep very small snake species? I guess in terms of pets, anything smaller than a small garter probably qualifies as "very small", especially if you breed them. DeKay's brown snake? Blind snakes? Those parthenogenetic Brahminy blind snakes? What is it like to keep them? I'm sure handling is a challenge with critters so small, if nothing else... but they don't need retic-sized enclosures at least!

I just think it's so totally amazing that such a teeny tiny creature can have essentially all the same kinds of bones and internal organs that humans and whales and ball pythons and alligators do, but yet inhabit such a fascinatingly microscopic world where a spider web could potentially be a real hazard and you could fit into a hole made by an earthworm.

I think the smallest species ive interacted with are baby corns. for adults, hognoses are the smallest ive held. I like them a lot and would like to keep them someday. Cant imagine something even smaller than them haha!

Rosy boa.
arrived today.
Not teeny tiny, but small for a boa.

Sweet little thing.

. As a baby this dude was pretty tiny .
Definatly a cool little snake .

My corn snake was pretty teeny when I got him (gone now, died this winter after 18 years). But some of these are that size as *adults* - or smaller!

My nephew kept this one for about a month last summer after my stepdad found it, it was pretty cute! He fed it mostly slugs although offered a variety of bugs he caught.

The smallest I've kept for any real duration are scarlet kings and rough green snakes. Out of those two, I'd say the greens are a more rewarding captive simply because you get to observe more behaviors in a captive setting. Most of these "micro" snakes ya'll are talking about practically disappear in meager ground cover - can't imagine keeping them would be much fun.

Here's a tantilla I found in the yard some years ago. These guys are pretty common to flip under landscaping ties around here.

Yeah, I know they'd be sort of unrewarding to keep as a result of hiding most of the time and probably being sort of hard to see even if they're out and about. You'd definitely have to be a special kind of snake nerd to do it... but you never know! There are lots of special nerds out there who are into all kinds of things that are way less interesting (to me, anyway) than teeny snakes that hide under stuff all the time.

Anyway, BP's hide a lot and we still keep them around. :)

I used to have this rough green snake. He was a fun little snake and he used to cruise around his fully planted terrarium without destroying the plant life! Major bonus.

Someday if I get really enterprising with gardening-type projects, it would be cool to set up a bioactive habitat for a DeKay's snake or few. You could in theory go a lot farther toward creating a complete ecosystem than you could with a larger species. Not happening anytime soon, though!
