So for what ever reason, I had a feeling I would find a snake while at my grandfathers yesterday. so, I started lifting large patio rocks. well, actually he or she was under the first rock I picked up! very tame little thing at first.

Once she found out she was caught she went into flight mode and was a bit difficult to keep from slipping out during the pictures.

 
You can always fill a terrarium up with dirt and pretend you have a ringneck in there! You'll see it the exact same amount. ;)

In seriousness, I have kept them short-term a few times over the years, and they did eat and shed, (and once) lay eggs -though I suspect that female might have been gravid. But keeping up with feeding/shedding/etc. is near impossible because they are such burrowers. Mine ate earthworms sometimes, crickets never, and small salamanders were taken with gusto. If you want a small insectivore, a keeled greensnake might be a better choice as long as you have a winter food supply. Not all will eat crickets.
