African House Snake

Place of Origin and Range	Found throughout most of the south South African subcontinent.
Description	These snakes sport a wide variety of pattern variation, and may be spotted, striped, or solid in colour. Colours ranging from black to brown, olive, terracotta, chocolate, or golden brown. The belly is white to pale yellow.
Morph Patterns Available	Yes
Adult Size	Can grow 2-3.5 feet(0.6 - 1m)
Accommodation	These snakes like a variety of habitats, plains, grassland, and savannah. Mild humidity with loose earth for burrowing. You will always want to include a large dish for bathing and soaking in to improve shedding. Always include a day basking spot at 80'F(27'C). Along with multiple hides. Minimum 2 x 2 x 4 feet for an adult.
Lifespan	Can live 12-15 years
Feeding / Diet	Wild house snakes are often very nervous, but are not prone to biting. Their first defensive reaction is to flee. They are frequently found in and around human dwellings, where they consume rodents, small lizards, and even birds. These snakes typically eat mice.
Breeding	House snakes are prolific breeders and lay clutches averaging eight to 12 eggs that hatch after around two months of incubation. Hatchlings are typically around 20 cm long.
Other Considerations	Snakes are relatively hardy low maintenance animals when kept in the correct environment, and require little day to day care other than feeding and cleaning out the tank as required. However, like all animals, they can still become sick or injured despite our best intentions to prevent this.
