Ring necked snakes

Ring necked snakes are brown on top, except for an orange ring, right behind their heads. Do snakes have necks?
But underneath (ventral side), ring-necks are right orange. In a defense display, this snake is starting to coil up the tip of its tail–the next stage is to wave it around like a head, hoping a predator will think it is.
