Neither have I, but just for useles info

Although the ring-necked snakes don't have a true venom gland they do have a similar structure called the Duvernoy's gland which produces a toxic saliva. So ring-necked snakes are indeed slightly venomous, their saliva contains a mild venom, which these type of snakes use to help them paralyze and subdue their prey.

It’s a snake, I knew there was a down side

Piggy backing on this thread, lol. This dude was slithering around the yard Sunday. Maybe 4 1/2, 5 ft.? Pretty docile, enjoyed watching him do his thing…

When I was in HS, we found around a dozen really young ones (newborns?).
But since that was in PA, they probably weren't 'southern'.
And they were too young to tell if they had an accent.

That’s my favorite snake, all most always had one in my pocket as a kid.

Caught this one sneaking around in my garage earlier. Looks to be around 8" long.
