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 jjspirko Tue, 30 Oct 2007 00:50:06 GMT http://market.kingsnake.com/index.php?cat=64 Old world ratsnakes are from Europe, Asia and the Middle east and include the following: * Asian Elaphe: Mandarin, Steppes, Korean, Chinese king, Beauty snakes, Radiated, japanese, trinket etc. * Other Asian 'ratsnakes': Rhino (rhynchopis), Red tailed green (Gonyosoma/Elaphe oxychepala), Jansen's (Gonyosoma/Elaphe janseni), Oreophis porphyracea (Red Mountain racer). * European Elaphe: Ladder, Aesculapian, 4 lined etc. Please note that as the naming conventions for reptiles are continually in flux, if it does not appear on this list please ask before posting it here. jjspirko Wed, 06 Sep 2006 18:25:06 GMT http://africanhousesnake.blogspot.com/2006/08/why-wont-these-house-snakes-breed.html 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 Sun, 27 Aug 2006 14:16:57 GMT
