Is a black snake with one yellow line behind its head poisonous?
Its preferred habitat consists of rocky ledges near rivers in shady or heavily wooded damp areas. While this snake is very secretive, it does not burrow. Rather, they hide under rocks, fallen bark or forest litter. It has been encountered in basements and greenhouses. When threatened this snake may release a pungent fluid, but they do not usually attempt to bite. The diet of ringneck snakes consists mostly of insect larvae, salamanders, earthworms and frogs.
