Ribbon snake questions

[Lori P]

Ribbons just seem to stay skittish. My guy, Bob Evans, who I've had for what... going on three months now... still darts to hide every time I walk by the tank. Just freaks. Mine don;t strike at me, tho...

I wish you were closer, I'd take her and give her a good home... I worry she'll keep getting passed from home to home. Come on, drive her down to Va. :-)

Ribbon snakes seem to make far better "display" snakes than "pets"

I just love my ribbons, They are all over the place. Great fun to watch.

Most likely (there are exceptions) this will never be a "lap snake" and it will probably musk and act squirrelly whenever it is handled.

i could always ship if you really wanted her. you just pay shipping

i made the mistake of not knowing what a ribbon snake was like, i seen the guy at the show with them and just fell inlove with the look and she was only $10. live and learn i guess. i do love watching her play around but i hate the idea that she lieks to strike whenever i clean the cage, i know it dont hurt but it still makes ya jump (or me atleast). the worst part is i got her for my girlfriend and im kinda worried about my girlfriend trying to handle her due to how fast and scared she is. maybe ill give it a week and see how it goes, unless someone REALLY wants her i would be willing to part for just shipping.
