ID help please?

My friend got this snake, he believes its a corn, but had no idea what kind. He asked his friends, other herpers, but no one could ID it. He's not a corn fan so he gave it to me. Can anyone help? I originally thought bloodred from his discription, but when I actually saw it, its a purplish burgandy in color, not red

African House Snake.

Google away.

House snake. Looks like a Lamprophis fuliginosus Red phase.

African house snake was my first guess, I'm SO happy that Wilomn stated the same, I feel all smart that I guessed right!
Very pretty!

It does look similar but my friend said it was to small scaled to be that

Is this the same friend who didn't know what it was?

You can listen to your friend if you like, but wasn't this the person who told you they thought it was a corn?

HEYYYYY, maybe this is where that rutgers guy got the whole rear-fanged pantherophis mixup from.
