    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 Iīm very keen on getting a ribbon....seem like interesting little critters.
