I have never seen the green phase yet. The majority of African house snakes that I have seen display the usual orange/reddish coloration. One really cool thing about House snakes is that they dont have to be cycled to breed. Female specimens kept at a steady warm temperature throughout the year should drop fertile clutches for you. Anoter cool thing about house snakes is that they taper off their growth at a small size so housing is usually not an issue.
Quick question. Is the husbandry and diet of the green house snakes similar to that of the usual orange/red colored specimens.
