Ring-necked snakes are also not found above an elevation of 2,200 m (7,200 ft). [6] In northern regions, dens are also important in identifying suitable ring-necked snake habitat. Dens are usually shared communally, [7] and are identifiable by an existent subsurface crevasse or hole deep enough to prevent freezing temperatures.
