    I am new to the forums, and I have a question: How much and how often should I feed my new ribbon snake? He already ate three minnows today and is still acting hungry. Should I feed him more? Please let me know! :)

    Ribbon snakes are highly active snakes with a very fast metabolism, and will gorge themselves if they find an area particularly good for food, so he may not really be acting hungry... just normal. I've caught wild ones that were eating and wouldn't even drop the food to try and get away. :D
