- No snake occurs over a wider range across North America! Learn surprising facts about tiny Ring-necked Snake Diadophis punctuatus and where it ranks among the world's smallest snakes and in North America. The fascinating biology of this snake is presented with up-close video of the snake itself! My channel is always about delivering the highest value, accurate content and teach about nature and the environment. I also compare the Southern Ring-necked snake with the Northern ring-necked snake and how they can be identified. After you watch this video identification of this species of snake will also be confirmed in your mind. It is important to be able to recogonize and identify venomous snakes from non-venomous. This snake actually has tiny rear-facing fangs in the back of its mouth and in conjugation with a slightly toxic saliva that can help paralyze tiny soft bodied prey ...it could tecnically be called a venomous snake but it has no risk to humans.

As a kid growing up in CT I spent my free time searching for snakes. An eastern ring neck was on of my happiest finds along with a hog nose.
My two favorite snakes! You need to check out my two hognose episodes and a more detailed episode on ringnecks!
I’m so glad this channel exists
Awe...smellycat.....you are too kind! I appreciate you too!
My earliest snake memory was of my great uncle having a Northern Ring-neck Snake in a terrarium in his house in New Jersey. I was about 5 years old.
Great memory! And cool great uncle!
This is one of the ‘Life list’ need to meet snakes, still after 55++++ years of searching!!! Thanks again for sharing this BEAUTY with us!!!🐍🐍
Good luck with finding one! See if you can find a local herper to help you!
What a beauty!! Thanks Frank!
You are very welcome!
Great video . Thank you much. God bless you.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for another awesome video. You are an amazing teacher😊
You are so welcome! It's funny every week I find something new and can't wait to share it! Thanks for your support and encouragement!
I grew up in southern MD, on the Potomac River and used to love catching the ring neck snake! One of my favorites for sure! Thank you!
Mine too!
Very interesting!
Glad you think so!
I love ring neck snakes.❤
America's beloved snake!
Seriously?? What a beautiful little chap. A sweet little jewel.
Truly! 🙂
Very pretty species. I’ve found several. Mainly under flat rocks on a rocky shoreline near the Kinzua dam. They were all adults.
I remember fishing for Walleye there 30 years ago. First walleye I ever caught!
Saw one this summer for the first time!
Congrats!
I had a ring neck snake in my pool. It sared me, so I went to your website to make sure it wouldn't hurt me or my dogs. Thanks for the information.
You are welcome!! 🙂
Such beautiful snakes. Unfortunately, they are not found in Manitoba.
Very beautiful...gentle.
Saw one of these yesterday on a walk in central Kentucky. It was fully stretched out in the middle of a dirt road, probably about 12”. I touched the super smooth scales and off it went, safely unsquished. 😅 🐍 🚗
Those scales are amazingly smooth!
RE: their bite & venom. They certainly can bite into the soft tissue on your hand and wrist, the one you're handling is quite small but an adult is capable of biting. Also, the venom has been demonstrated to cause irritation and swelling, there USED to be a great video here on RUclips, the guy has pulled it down for some reason, he let an adult bite him on the hand, in the soft puffy part of his palm below the thumb.
After the snake chewed on him, the skin turned red, it got locally swollen and it was obvious that the venom had some affect on him.
Are they dangerous? They certainly wouldn't be considered a significant threat.
That said, there's ALWAYS a chance that a person can have a reaction to the venom, even a serious reaction. So encouraging and/or allowing one to bite is certainly foolish.
I think I've shared my first hand account of seeing a young woman go into anaphylaxis after being bitten by a common Eastern Garter Snake. So the same COULD potentially happen with a Ringneck snake.
I've personally handled large adults that were very quick to bite, as inconsequential as that seemed to be.
All that said, there certainly ARE an interesting and beautiful species!
EDIT*** I don't condone what she's doing here but I found this video after commenting above.

Thanks for your always knowledgeable and informative addition to my video here. Yes..I remember our discussion of anaphylaxis...many unusual proteins in different scenarios can contribute. I need to always remember NOT to make universal statements..60 years handling snakes I never had a ringneck capable of biting....but..your truth and accurate statements are recognized!
I didn't know about ringnecks being communal. I thought only garters did that. TIL
I know! I was surprised as well when I learned that!
Dekay's brown snakes are tiny too. Not sure if they are smaller than the ringneck snakes though. I would love to see a blind snake in person, that is to say, not a snake that is blind. 😉
Delay s are generally larger as adults...but offspring are tiny as well!
I just learned about the double hammer headed
Worm! He’s a bad player! Have you have any videos those?
I do not! I need to but fortunately I have yet to see one.
Hello, Frank. You have been referred to me for contacting for speaking to our resident campers at Virginia Highland Haven Airstream Park I am looking for a speaker for an upcoming co-ed Afternoon Tea. I do not know how else to reach you. Cassie Medina has my contact. Thank you, Peg Hardinge

Yo that my old teacher
Lol! Give me a clue to who you are! Welcome to my channel!
@@natureatyourdoor its Chris hash
@@lavishlife3955 awesome! Hi Chris!
They eat slugs? This snake is, therefore, my friend.
Ha! Right? Lol!
Nope, nope, nope. They can stay away from me.
You're afraid of a barely 1ft long noodle? Really....
@willow95 Absolutely. I will run 🏃♀️ away. I am terrified of any snakes 🐍
@@carmennunnally5776 Have you ever thought about growing up? Or have you ever had a thought, period? Being afraid of something that's completely harmless is just....words escape me. Are you afraid of dandelions? Pebbles? Clouds?
@willow95 you have harsh words, and you are showing a lack of some knowledge, intelligence, and disrespect. I am not your best friend from childhood or a friend of you to talk to me in such a way. You need to take some classes and learn how to talk to people. I don't need your opinion or your condescending. This is not the site for you.
@@willow95 People have phobias. They can't help that.
