Northern Ringneck Snake (Diadophis punctatus edwardsii) from Hartford County, Connecticut
Comments
=========
The ring-necked snake or ringneck snake (Diadophis punctatus) is a small, non-venomous snake found in North America. It is mostly grey or brown with a colorful belly side and a colorful ring behind its head. The snake is secretive and is rarely seen during the daytime. It is slightly venomous, but its nonaggressive nature and small, rear-facing fangs pose little threat to humans who wish to handle it. The snakes' diet consist of small prey such as earthworms, slugs, and salamanders.
Order: Squamata > Suborder: Serpentes > Family: Colubridae > Genus: Diadophis > Species: Diadophis punctatus
