The other day, Kelly stepped outside our front door and there in front of him were 4 Florida ringneck snakes in this little bunch, as you see in the photo below. Look at those colors, aren’t they striking?!!

We love these little guys, and they ARE little. Actually they are about the size of a #2 pencil, which is a ringneck’s typical size. The average adult size is 6-10 inches. They have a skinny black body with a bright orange or yellow neck ring. The belly is a captivating bright orange, yellow or red as seen above.

HABITAT:

Typically, they live in mulch and leaves under shrubs and feed on small lizards, earthworms, and slugs. They are as harmless as an earthworm with a mouth and teeth so small they couldn’t hurt anyone if they did bite them.

Kelly and I are constantly reminded of God’s handy work in creation by the beauty we see daily living here in Florida. It’s great to have this type of forum to share it with you. Come and visit us in Orlando and you can enjoy it all first hand.
