Re: new to snake care

thanks everyone, for being welcoming to me!. over the weekend i'll try snakey with some new food, i have thought about the wooden housing, but i was unsure of suitable heating for it.
also he has been very inactive lately and preferes to burry himself under his bedding, could he be hibernating?
i think that he could be a ribbon snake, but iam unsure to excalty what type
here is a pic of snakey

Re: new to snake care

thats a ribbon all right. Have fun feeding him rosie reds in a dish, me and my siblings always get front row seats to watch it. Ribbons are masters of fish catching.
