Eastern Ribbon snake



Ribbon snake food
Trail we like to take to find all types of snakes including the eastern ribbon snake

These are a couple of the many ribbons snakes me and my little brother have caught. If your just getting into snakes these are a fun catch. Rarely do you have to worry about them bitting you and even if they do it won't break the skin. If you want to find these snakes you can look in any riparian wetland or in any area bordering water. There found in these areas because there diet consist of fish and amphibian larval. Most of the time I'll find ribbons snakes early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Once you spot them its important to get a hold of them quick because there quick to slither into underbrush and holes once disturbed.
