A ringneck snake.

YUP
Northern Ringneck Snake - Diadophis punctatus edwardsii
Description: 9 13/16 - 15 ¾" (25 - 40 cm). Slate gray to black dorsum with smooth scales. Golden ring behind head. Belly is bright yellow to red with some black spots possible. Anal plate divided. Click on thumbnail to enlarge image.

Similar species in our area: The northern redbelly (Storeria occipitomaculata) has 3 spots around neck.

Lifestyle: This species is not commonly seen, but is fairly common at BNL. This may be due to it’s small size and secretive lifestyle. This species can tolerate human pressure and can be found in and under human debris. Also found in pine and deciduous forests, gardens and meadows. Breeds May to July and fall. 5-10 1" yellow/white eggs laid June and July in debris (sometimes in communal nest sites). Young hatch August and September at 4-6". Young are darker than adults.

Yippy, Give me an idea what question I can ask?

No that is not. It has about 120+ teeth and can take a kids finger off when fully grown. 2meters is the average length as an adult.

well I've no idea

I have tried to get some South Africans on the site and see if one of these could answer but alas. Maybe next time



Cape Mole Snake – Pseudaspis Cana Capensis

Africa’s version of the North American Genus Pituophis. If Africa had a Bullsnake, Pine snake or Gopher snake, the Mole Snake would be it. This Large heavy bodied colubrid of the genus Pseudaspis is by far one of the most valuable colubrids in all of Africa. One adult Mole Snake could wipe out an entire nest of rats in one feeding. African Mole Snake are by far one of the most underrated snakes in the Pet Trade today. It can come in many different patterns and colors. The Genus Pseudaspis is made up of two species one is a nominant subspecies. I however, feel that more work needs to be done on this species and that it should be broken down into even more subspecies.
For this book I have broken it down into 7 subspecies and gave Latins names that I feel it rightfully deserves based upon region in which it is found in. Many people are unaware that many different locals show specific color phases and that these color phases are in fact genetic and are based upon the region in which the Mole Snake orginated from. I have worked with this species for a number of years now and personally believe that it is in fact different subspecies and not all just one species.
The African Mole Snake is a large, stout heavy snake with a small pointed head. This snake is extremely fond of Mole Rats hence the name and is probally one the reasons it has a head shaped for digging. The Mole snake comes in a variety of colors depending on the region it is from.
The Mole Snake is found through out South Africa, all of Namibia half of Angola, all through Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambuique, Malawi, Southern tip of Zaire, Tanzania, half of Uganda , Southern Sudan and South Eastern Ethiopia. They are ovoviparous meaning they give live birth.
