I've never seen my ribbons go completely underwater, and every time that I've seen them in the wild they just went off into some brush. They're rediculously fast on land, and I'd assume that they could swim away on the top of the water faster than underwater, so it makes sense to me.

Rick is Cazador, the mod from Alaska. I think he stopped posting to go somewhere before you joined.

I see. Interesting. But sureley they must have the ability to dive. They just seldom need to use it I guess.

Most likely, I pretty much view a ribbon snake as a semi-aquatic garter snake.

That's what I've always though too. I'm surprised to hear that they don't dive.

I'm sure they do it depends on what ever the snake feels it wants to do......

I'm sure they dive, but if they were trying to escape I would think they'd go across the top of the water, they're very fast swimmers. I would think of them diving when they were going after fish or maybe frogs or something else.

yeah that seems to be the case. I was >this< close to buying a ribbon (a nitae I believe) this february on a big reptile-fair but I ended up with my parietalis instead. Slender little fellow as well, but i must admit I´m very keen on getting a ribbon....seem like interesting little critters.
