    Ribbon Snake

    So Smulkin and I were at the local petstore on Saturday picking up crickets. Of course, we always have to take a look at the various reptiles for sale, and there, all by itself, was little ribbon snake for $10. Well, I couldn't pass it up, so he/she has become our latest addition. He/She's eaten 4 fish so far (that's right fish - little comets), and it's the funniest thing to watch. His/Her preference for fish has led me to deduce that he/she is the eastern variety, which would make sense with us living where we do. He/She just shed, so I'm hoping to post some pics soon. And obviously I still need to come up with a gender-neutral name for him/her.

    Does anyone here keep these or has anyone kept them in the past?

    Re: Ribbon Snake

    I was always seeing and catching those guys when I was a kid. It is interesting to have an snake that eats Minnows, tadpoles, small frogs, and worms (got to see it to believe it ). I have also been told that they will eat crickets or grass hoppers but I am not sure on that one. I almost got one when I was snake shopping but they have such high metabolisms for snake and need to be feed 3 times a week or so. I dont think i could keep up with that. Good luck with the little one

    EDIT: I have also been told that they are great at escaping due to their slenderness so look out.
