Why you should not get a house snake...

Here are a few pics of my African House Snakes. "Lamprophis Malculatus, Capensis, Fuliginosus" Excuse me if I mispell the latin names.

They are just too beautiful, variable and unique. I want them all. :D

Beautiful snakes, not that I would want them all, but indeed very beautiful species. I have a Rufous Beaked Snake(African house snake). I do however, want to purchase another Rufous Beaked Snake if I can somehow manage to get a small one, so I can breed them when they get bigger and produce some CB, to get them well established in the hobby.

Ruffies! I love those things. They remind me of FW Cobras. They are so active and have personality. Are you looking for another one and can't find one? Or ...?

I found a guy that has some WC's but there adults, I want to find another juvenile. WC seems to be the only thing available right now but I would love a CB. Just want to make sure to find another baby.

I talked to Strictly once or twice, they import them sometimes, but they seem to business to talk to me since I only want one snake.

Ugh.. your in Scotland!
Man, not too many people here in the U.S. have AHS.. Yours is sweet.
Albino patternless I am guessing?

Hi,

I think he is just a normal patternless? I got him as a gift for babysitting someones snakes and have been trying to get him a significant other ever since.

I just keep getting distracted by all the shiny things out there. :giggle:

Im planning to breed these beauties, but cant figure what species these are yet. Im thinking Black House (Lamprophis Inornatus) but no confirmation on it.

Awww. Those are cute! Are they easy to handle, or cranky?

They are zippy but with alot of handling they will be mellow. I handled my hold back babies since day 1 (literally) and they are as tame as kingsnakes. No biting ever.

What cool snakes!! I want one or 3!!
