Eastern Ribbon Snake ~ Plastic Replica ~ F2052-B39
The ribbon snake is a common species of garter snake endemic to eastern North America. Ribbon snakes are also common pets. A single snake can fit in a 10-gallon terrarium. They are also very docile. Garter snakes, like all snakes, are carnivorous. Their diet consists of almost any creature they are capable of overpowering: slugs, earthworms (nightcrawlers, as red wigglers are toxic to garter snakes), leeches, lizards, amphibians (including frog eggs), minnows, and rodents. When living near water, they will eat other aquatic animals. The ribbon snake (Thamnophis sauritus) in particular favors frogs (including tadpoles), readily eating them despite their strong chemical defenses.
