Keeping a Ringneck snake as pet?
I caught a ringneck snake a few months ago (April 27th at the very least) and I've gotten it to consistently eat Earthworms coated in calcium dust on a regular basis and it's pretty active. I don't handle it, as that stresses it out severely. I'm keeping it in a 2.5 - 3 gallon tank, I'm not exactly sure, which it can stretch fully across plus has about 5 inches of deep substrate consisting of 3 parts dirt that the gophers dug up (really soft stuff) to 1 part sand to burrow in, which is where it spends most of it's time. It holds moisture well.
The snake seems to be fine, but I've read a lot about how these snakes rarely did well in captivity. and while this one is eating, drinking, and seems to be doing great... I'm contemplating letting it go.
