Mike those are very Play-able.. They move a lot but they dont try run away from you... When I'm taking Marduk he reminds me a little puppy he always come to my face checking with his flickering tongue.. "who is that Big Godzilla giving me a workout today".... When week pass and is almost feeding day (like day or 2 before) he is watching me carefully when I'm passing by.. very often with that "reptile twisted head" looking at me if i have food for him.
In my personal opinion Housies have the best qualities of small colubrids and mini pythons... combined together...
1.0 Striped African House Snake "Marduk"
0.1 Striped African House Snake Ishtar
1.0 black phase Brown House Snake Seth
0.1 black phase Brown House Snake Nephthys
Like Raf said, they are just fun. They are curious and interested in what's going on around them. Mine does this weird twitch thing when you're holding him every so often like a stick insect swaying in the wind. It's like a vibration you can feel in their body.
He has also learned how to tell me he's hungry by coming out of his log and just staring into his bowl. Lol it's cute.
