if i remember correctly you said you lived in s africa. I do not know these guys range but am wondering if you have had any dealings with them. I have never had them before but got a couple in a few weeks ago. Very pretty snakes that eat good and seem to have a pleasant disposition.

Thanks, Don

african house snake

Don, Lamprophis are very interesting snakes........they remind me of little pythons for some reason. I've never kept them, but I have a strange feeling you will have no problem whatsoever...just check out this link:

Yes Don I am from SA. They are found all over Africa. Like shane they also remind me of pythons, they are constrictors and have no fangs. They are easy to breed ,easy to keep and even full grown WC addults will eat the same day you catch it and they also tame very fast, never to bite again.The females get much larger than the males, I'v kept a few females that are big enough to eat jumbo rats They are great snakes, That seem to grow on you, you can hand them to a child with no fear of the child being bitten.
They are great snakes that make truly great pets.

Don if you ever want to come to TW you are welcome, I have a modest guest room and you would be welcome to stay at my place if you want.
In two years time I'm purchasing a game farm in SA, so if you miss TW you might want to come to SA where you will also be welcome.
I'v tryed to reply to this and your previous thread a few times, but my computer keeps getting stuck.
