Yep, they go under the floor of my dad's shed. All summer long I can go down there and they will be all over in different places. My mom sent a few pics she took with her phone of 2 on a shelf...she didn't realize they were mating and kind of freaked out when I told her.
She's not afraid of snakes, but she's not comfortable with them.
When I started finding these ringnecks, they were the first I've ever seen. All the snakes, except the group of garters, were found under the same board at my back door. They all live under my house so I'm pretty positive there's a big ole hibernaculam under my house with Eastern, shorthead, ringnecks, and redbellies...obviously this makes me very happy. I find toads and redback salamanders there as well.
The redbellies are my favorites, they're so easy to handle...with the exception of the tiny baby ringneck, he was too cute to not be a favorite.
