So I was staying at my dads house last night and I get home today and my mom and her bf are looking at me weird...and i'm just like... what?
They tell me they had something for me last night but I didn't come home so it was still on the counter... I went to see it and this is what I found

That little tupper ware thing is about the size of a jello cup

It's so freaking tiny!!! XD Apparently they found him doing gardening work and actually held onto the little thing for me... he's like..hardly even 4 inches...

As tiny as he is I'm surprised I got pics this decent

And the hard part... I know ring necks are difficult in general and this one is so fricken tiny i doubt if he could even eat a wax worm or baby cricket but he's just so cute and tiny!!! So I will try a few different things I think.. if he doesn't eat something within 4 days I will let him go in the yard
 
I know! I'm usually against taking snakes out of the wild but only if they are readily available in the hobby...like corn snakes... but these guys aren't.... and he will be a good challenge I think... If I can't get things working well though he will be released somewhere safe.
 
Nice find. Unfortunately I haven't found one of those guys in years. I use to find them all the time as a kid up in the mountains.
 
ohh, my grandpa had one for a while, it ate lots of ants and pin head crickets when it was about 6 inches(i dunno since you said that one was 4)
 
Try feeding it some Gambusia. I have had success by putting them in the water bowl and letting the ringneck hunt it. Good luck, they are awesome.
 
beauty!
