African House Snake Information & Care

  • 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.

Microsoft Offers a Bribe - Free Website and Domain and Email

  • A little over a month ago Microsoft launched Microsoft Office Live Beta with a lot of effort and resources but it did not make a huge splash in the media, in the web development communitiy or even with the bazillion affiliate marketers out there always looking for new places to publish content. Something is missing in the message because the product while far from perfect is pretty damn good at an offering price of FREE. - jjspirko on 2006-08-14

Reptic Zone Thread, Good Larger Pet Snake

  • You know this is really a great thread cause a lot of people would like a bigger snake then a corn, ball or a lot of the other 4-5 foot stuff but they don’t want something that is likely to eat a small dog if it gets out like a Redtail Boa or Rock Python Might.



    So I decided to tool around the net and come up with a pic for each of the larger snakes in the list I provided along with a Jungel Carpet and a Rainbow Boa that were mentioned by others. The fact that others mentioned them by the way is the only reason I did not list those two.

The African House Snake Blog: Why Won't These House Snakes Breed

  • This problem is from the fact that when we think of "common" or "brown" house snakes there are actually TWO species that look quite similar to each other and most of the herp world is under the impression that they are indeed one in the same. Then when you try to interbreed these animals they are more then willing to go through with the act but you get slugs (infertile eggs). On some occasions you may get a few good eggs and the offspring will be hybrids between the two and mostly infertile. - jjspirko on 2006-08-27

The African House Snake

  • Welcome to the African House Snake Page. This page is intended as an internet resource for people interested in finding about the amazing African House Snake (Lamprophis fuliginosus).   Also, and more appropriately known as the Brown House Snake, these little colubrids may be the easiest species of snake to keep and breed in captivity.

African House Snake A Guide to Lamprophis

  • When I first discovered the African House Snake I knew I had found my individual calling in the Herp world. Sure I could go into corn snakes or milks or kings or bulls or just about any of the common snakes where the knowledge was already well gathered and things would be a lot easier. - jjspirko on 2006-08-17

Incubation of snake eggs.

  • w are two photos that show an occasion after a Children’s/Spotted Python egg split open during incubation. A makeshift “humidicrib” was set up to attempt to complete the incubation process. This did in fact succeed. Photo to the left is of the snake - jjspirko on 2006-07-26
