Northern Ring-Necked snake advice

Sounds like you have a nice set up for him! Neat snake.

Thanks. I have successfully seen him eat now too. He seems less spooked by me and that's probably because I don't handle him.

I did a bunch of reading about his habitat etc. I had to block out one side of the tank with how my tree frog was eyeing him from his terrarium.

He is now consistently eating for me, even calcium covered worms now. I am no longer worried. I added a ton of fallen leaves and he enjoys those.

Nice! He should have a good home with you considering the circumstances, and how well he's adjusted. Sounds like you've really dedicated yourself to providing for him.

[David339]

Thanks. I do for all my animals. He's getting a lot less jumpy and I still don't handle him. Not til substrate/tank change at least. He cues me for feeding by poking his head out of his leaf litter bed a certain way and watches me.

He's shed his first skin today too, since I've had him at least. I wanna bump him up to a 20 gal. tank even though he doesn't need it, just so he has more space.
