Diadophis punctatus

These are the eggs of the Northern ringneck snake. What would you feed snakes that tiny? Cut up earthworms?

I know the guy that took that picture, John White. Great photographer of herps here in VA.

I'm guessing hatchlings would eat the tiny newly-hatched earthworms. If someone were trying to rear them, setting up a worm box would be in order! I also wonder if they would eat termites.

They should take small worms no problem.
