Some strayed ringneck snake pics

[HerperHelmz]

I always upload all my pics in the KS.com gallery.... So I rarely post my pics here. But I'm on a faster computer as of right now, so I figured I'd share some of my pics that some of you probably haven't seen...

Comparison Shot to show how large Regal Ringneck Snake neonates are.
The Regal is on the ruler. Next to it, is a year old Northern Ringneck Snake. Next to that is a 3 year old Northern Ringneck Snake. The regal is bigger than all of them.

They are quite beautiful snakes. Any color morphs besides the black and red?

[HerperHelmz]

The NW ringneck snakes aren't a color morph. Every snake in that sub-species looks like that. But with color morphs...

I am working with the Albino Northern Ringneck Snake line. And I know a couple other people that are working with the Albino Northern Ringnecks as well. There are pics of Albino Ringnecks on my site.

no no no, I wrote the question down wrong, I meant are there any morphs?

[Rosy-enthusiast]

no no no, I wrote the question down wrong, I meant are there any morphs? Didnt realize they are venomous! So, if I was to be bit by the regal ring neck, would I die? If no, what would happen?

[HerperHelmz]

The worst that could happen, to my knowledge, from a ringneck bite is an itching sensation that occurs for a couple hours. No one has really tested venom on humans(any volunteers lol?), but ringneck snakes rarely bite.

Here are the ringneck snake sub-species/morphs I know of...

Albino Northern Ringneck Snakes
Aberrant Northern Ringneck Snakes(spots on the neck ring)
Anerythristic Northern Ringneck Snakes
Albino Regal Ringneck Snakes
Melanistic Pacific Ringneck Snake
Albino Prairie Ringneck Snake
Hypomelanistic Prairie Ringneck Snake
Pied Prairie Ringneck Snake
Albino Southern Ringneck Snake
Albino Key Ringneck Snake
Albino NorthWestern Ringneck Snake

There might be more, but these are the only ones I know of just using memory. :)

Morphs are not Sub species. Morphs are genetic mutations of one species.
Like the Burm is a Sub species of the indian Python but the green, Albino, or labirinth Burmes is still a burmese. Just thaught I would and some imput.

[HerperHelmz]

No one said that morphs were sub-species dude.

I said I would make a list of the sub-species/morphs I know about. Meaning the sub-species and the morphs I know of for that particular sub-species.

[boa+python]

didnt know ring necks were poisonous

There is a good section on my website entitled "Venomous?" that you may find interesting...
