Are you talking about a banded snake eel or banded moray eel? They both have similar needs, but we can help more if we know what you are talking about. If you mean banded moray (also known as barred moray) I just bought one and there is information on my thread about it.

I would consider myself a success in keeping this eel (if it is the moray that you have) so far as it is happy and eating, so if you have any questions, give me a pm and i will be happy to help.

All it said was banded eel but I looked up a picture of the moray and it did not have the red color it was more black and white. Is this the snake?
