Philothamnus

Just got a pair of these today. African Green Snakes is what they were sold as, I can't figure out what the exact scientific name is for them and all my searches have come up empty for info, closest I have come is they are Philothamnus. They are neat little snakes though.

3 more shots. An interesting note on these guys; They seem to change color as the constrict their scales, they can be 2/3rd's speckled with white and blue. Then they can some how constrict them or do something where they are almost solid green colored, an awazing show to watch!

Great looking snakes you have there, where did you get them from, and how much were they?

Your site had great pics. I have been to Florida/Miami a zillion times and had no idea armidillos were found there.
I have seen lots gators,zillion turtles,snakes even non native tokay geckos at night but never an armidillio.
I imagine they are found mostly by the glades?

Thanks, actually they are now found all through out the state. I live near South/Central FL and they are common here.

Oh neat I had no idea. I like them . When I lived in Panama they were out in hoards every night but have never seen a wild one in the states.
