lol, hey buddy, that snake was found dead on the road. And in the wild regal ringneck snakes eat other snakes, it's 100% natural and cool to watch.

besides...governor delivers blah for forests in the background doesn't look that "natural"...i don't think ur dealing with nature anymore...sure...if it ate a snake in the wild...thats that...but feeding a snake to it is different...i hope its not its staple diet...i mean...u'll have to be pretty lucky finding soo many snakes to feed it...but please stop posting pics like this...mice were bred to be fed...snakes were not..well...atleast not last time i checked...

lol, I'm just cracking up at all of this, dude who is against feeding snakes to snakes, shut up. Ok, regal ringnecks eat snakes and lizards in the wild, and rarely an earthworm. I have used anoles, snakes and pinkie mice to feed ringnecks. I use snakes as feeder food all the time, simply because I can get them in large quantitys from April to November.

I agree with herp. Snakes often eat other snakes in the wild ie. kingsnakes i know will do it. I know a person who breeds both kings and corns. If he has a decrepet corn such as one with a lot of kinks he will feed it to the kingsnake. I haven't heard of "feeder snakes" though, but o well u shouldn't get offended, if images like this offend you then don't be a member of this site cuz there is a lot of pics that are worse than this!

like ive said..its not in the wild...the ringneck can eat all the herps it wants in the wild...in captivity its just not necessary...and about the anole question...if those snakes CAN ONLY EAT A SOLELEY ANOLE DIET then no...but u know and i know that the ringneck can live on mice...why go to snakes.?...and its really not about why hes feeding the snake...its about why hes posting this pic...i personally think his ringnecks are beautiful snakes...i have a kingsnake too..i could feed my hog to it...but im not going to do that...o well...im sorry if im getting on some of ur nerves..which i probably am...so forgive me for any trouble i mightve caused...oh...and the names eric..not erin kara...

Is a snake any more "alive" than a mouse is before being fed? No, so what's the difference?

Man you are quick to reply today, that doesn't suck, that boa probably saved 2 snakes from becoming dinner.
