  • Ribbon snake video montage filled with information and facts including a frog tug-o-war between a ribbon snake and a broad banded water snake.
    INFORMATION:
    Ribbon snakes are categorized in the same family as garter snakes, but they behave more like racers or coachwhips. They have lots of attitude, act tough and often bite if grasped in the wild. Their bit will draw a little blood but they are nonvenomous. wash the bite off with soap to be extra careful.
    These snakes are really quick on the draw and quick to stink on you with a pungent deterrent musk.
    Ribbon snakes hunt with good eyesight and sense of smell. I never see them too far from water where they search and probe for frogs, toads, fish, worms, or anything they can overpower and swallow... And sometimes things they cant overpower and swallow.
    Though the tend to be a little more nervous than their cousins the garter snakes, ribbon snakes are also very hardy and adapt well in captivity. Eventually they stop nipping and musking.
    Most people have a difficult time telling the difference between garter snakes and ribbon snakes, especially since you usually only get a glimpse of ribbon snakes disappearing in the wild. Besides looking more mischievous, ribbon snakes are generally thinner in girth with skinnier heads, but the profound tell tell white spot in front of each eye gives them away. Also garter snakes have dark notches or banding on their labial scales or lips.
    Adult ribbon snakes average around 16-35 in (41-89 cm) in length. Females are the larger sex. Babies are born live and and look just like their parents.
    Ribbon snake's yellow stripes are excellent camouflage among stems, twigs and reeds and also serve as an optical trick that makes them seem to vanish when on the move.

    I found one of these in my apartment yesterday, small young one. I thought it was a garter but after some googleing I realized I was mistaken. I saved him from my cats and he was actually really sweet. No biting no musking and I took him outside without any fuss

    I've always found them to be more like a thin water snek than like a racer.

    Finally, someone giving these bastards their just do. We used to find them in the tall grass surrounding two lakes in upstate NY, and they were nasty. We'd find garters and an occasional green snake, and never once did they try to bite. I even had a ring neck that I briefly kept as a pet and it was wonderfully well mannered. But ribbon snakes, unlike what other snake lovers on RUclips say about them, were biters. All of them.

    It's so hard to tell the difference between a garter snake and what you call a ribbon snake. I may actually have a ribbon snake. If you have time I have five videos of her eating toads on my channel, maybe you could watch one and let me know what do you think she is? I also believe it is a she has she is 3 1/2 feet long and has a slim tail.
