Say hello to my little friend

Florida ringneck snakes are not poisonous to humans. While they possess a mild venom and rear fangs, they are considered harmless to humans due to their small size and the mild nature of their venom.

Ringneck snakes are small, typically only 6-7 inches long, and their bite would be unlikely to inject a significant amount of venom, according to the Imagine Our Florida, Inc.

Their venom is mild and primarily used to subdue prey, like salamanders and earthworms, according to the SREL Herpetology.
