I am a herper who has kept geckoes, anoles, chameleons, toads, frogs, salamanders, etc. in the past. I am happy to be here as we can all learn from each other. Anyways, we live in CT and last night, I found a small ringneck snake in our kitchen! My son loves snakes and was overwhelmed. Well, we can't let this little guy (or girl) outside now since it is still too cold. My husband says we can keep it for a few weeks until it gets warmer and then let it go. I can set up a habitat for it as I have everything it would need. My question is this, what can we feed it? I have read online that it eats small invertebrates, ants and earthworms. What if it is too cold outside to gather these animals? (Such is the reason why we are keeping the snake.) We would be happy to get anyone else's thought on this.
