Ribbon snakes eat fish, frogs, toads, and sometimes rodents in the wild. I’m not sure if they eat insects, although I believe they eat earthworms too. In captivity they are generally fed mice, which may need to be scented by the natural prey (rubbing a minnow on a mouse, for example) before it is accepted.
