Re: ringneck bit me.
I got bit by a ringneck earlier this year too. Surprised me quite a bit, I've been catching ringnecks for 30+ years and never saw one act aggressive

It's an exclusive club that I am not a member of. I once saw a guy get bitten by a smooth green... top that! :p
Re: ringneck bit me.
Its funny when tiny snakes try to bite you .
Re: ringneck bit me.
Did it actually open it's mouth or just shove it's nose into your hand?
Re: ringneck bit me.
it opened its mouth and shoved its nose into my hand, its mouth wasnt big enough to get on my finger. It also pooped on me three times.

Re: ringneck bit me.
when I got bit, it definately opened it's mouth, got me twice. I just got bit by a brown snake the other day, too. I think it was a very pregnant female, which may be why it was so cranky. Here's the Brown, I think this snake, for it's size, had the longest tongue ever
Re: ringneck bit me.
If this is an exclusive club, then I want to announce my membership. I was bit once by a ringneck and a few times have had them open their mouth when first picked up as if they were to try to bite.
Re: ringneck bit me.
caught a yellow rat today and it didnt even bite. ive been struck at by a brown snake but never bitten.

Yeah those small snakes can be deceptively vicious.

Re: ringneck bit me.
It gaped impressively but when a finger was placed in its mouth it wouldn't bite.

Re: ringneck bit me.
Yeah. My son spotted it out the window in a tree as we were bumping along a dirt road. I jumped out, grabbed it and brought it in to show. We let it go a couple minutes later. (In the same tree.)
If it were in OZ, we'd probably still be there...

Re: ringneck bit me.
I appreciate the extreme aggression in neonate rat snakes and corns. That and the ultimate calm in giant mudsnakes, where one bite would most likely leave quite the impressive mark. They need a strong bite to deal with sirens!
Re: ringneck bit me.
wow, your son actually spotted a green snake in a tree while driving!! Man I wish I had young eyes still, kids are soooo much better at spotting snakes

Re: ringneck bit me.
I'm bumping this up because I got nailed by a queen snake today.
I've also been nipped by both southern ringnecks and rough greens...

If we're gonna play the game of who got bit by the wimpiest snake, I had an ornery Tantilla get me.

Re: ringneck bit me.
I've been bit by some really big dusky salamanders before (and little ones too). It's almost like an anole..

Re: ringneck bit me.
Never been bit by a Ringneck, but I was bit by a 7' Coachwhip once, well several times. No really I was bit by a Queen Snake, it actually drew a little blood. It was a gravid female, but still a queen snake.
Re: ringneck bit me.
Out of the 100+ ringnecks I've handled only one ever bit, and he was ferocious!! I managed to squeeze a drop of blood out of his tiny teeth abrasions

Re: ringneck bit me.
You too? Glad I am not the only one. Also have been bit by D. fuscus and D. monticola one of the monticola was like 3 times.Nshepard wrote:Got bit by a small Desmognathus ochrophaeus.... actually, got multiple bites from multiple individuals.
Queens do not surprise me. I get bit all the time. Had one repeatedly bit my pant leg once, was the racer of queens.
And on topic. Only once by a ringneck.

Re: ringneck bit me.
That's quite a meal. Did you stick around to see if it got the toad down?
Re: ringneck bit me.
i think the fact rearfanged hognoses playing dead is more odd
Re: ringneck bit me.
id rather a ringneck than a vicious coachwhip....even rather a racer, coachwhips usually aim for the face!!!dthor68 wrote:Never been bit by a Ringneck, but I was bit by a 7' Coachwhip once, well several times.

Re: ringneck bit me.
this watersnake grabbed hold of my finger and tried to swallow it
Re: ringneck bit me.
^hahaha that is too funny. i had a large garter snake bite and try to swallow a shirt once, and my cali king tried to swallow my bedsheet the other day. but never had one get half my finger down!
Re: ringneck bit me.
I recently found out ringnecks are venomous. (This was news to me.) You are all lucky you're not tiny slugs.
