This site is dedicated to African House Snakes and other African Colubrids.
I have personally been working with snakes since 1984 and have found a special love for the snakes that make up the Genus Lamprophis, (which means the shining snake). The African House Snake is actually quite misunderstood despite how easy most species are to care for.
There is massive confusion about several of the species and sub species, breeding issues and "morphs" and "color phases". Unlike many typical Colubrids there is still a tremendous amount of work to be done with House Snakes. It is the sheer volume of unknowns and taxonomic work yet to be done that led me to work with African House Snakes.
