Collectible Wildlife Gifts | Snake Gray, Black Striped with Yellow Head, Rubber Reptile, Realistic Hand Painted, Model, Gift, 4" F1098 B165

Our snake toy animal is made of solid plastic and measures 4 inches from nose to tail. We don't know the identity of this gray snake with black bands and a yellow head.   Diadophis punctatus, commonly known as the ring-necked snake or ring neck  snake, is a harmless species of colubrid snake found throughout much of the United States, central Mexico, and southeastern Canada. Ring-necked snakes are secretive, nocturnal snakes, so are rarely seen during the day time. They are slightly venomous, but their nonaggressive nature and small, rear-facing fangs pose little threat to humans who wish to handle them. They are best known for their unique defense posture of curling up their tails, exposing their bright red-orange posterior, ventral surface when threatened. Ring-necked snakes are believed to be fairly abundant throughout most of their range, though no scientific evaluation supports this hypothesis. Scientific research is lacking for the ring-necked snake, and more in-depth investigations are greatly needed. It is the only species within the genus Diadophis, and currently 14 subspecies are identified, but many herpetologists question the morphologically based classifications.   Thanks for visiting Collectible Wildlife Gifts, the leading provider of high-quality, lifelike animal Designs and gifts!
