Question
My wild caught ribbon snake unexpectedly had babies today. I removed the mother because I had heard of a danger of her eating them. I have no experience raising baby ribbon snakes and any instructions or insight would be a big help! :)

Answer
Hmmm, baby ribbons are not something I have experience with...  Care is not any different from the adult save for more smaller prey (which can be difficult to find).  Small fish, frogs, worms, and maybe lizards would be my suggestion.  You could also try a Google search for "baby ribbon snake care" and see if that does you any good.  Sorry, that's the best I can do on this one!
