I don't browse here often, nor do I get the pleasure of updating the pictures of my collection, so I decided I'd go for both in one night...

A young female dark-phase spotted house snake, 'Cinder.'

A red phase spotted male, 'Rurik.'

My dark phase striped house snake, 'Mocha,' followed by 'Latte,' who I believe to be a form of hypo? I have yet to see another striped house snake like her. I'll be breeding her this year.

A lace-patterned spotted, who is more pink than red most of the time.

Nice collection! And kudos to not referring to them as 'fuliginosus' or brown house snakes like everyone else does!

They are all, without a shadow of a doubt, gorgeous! I can't pick a favourite although the first lineatus, Mocha might just clinch it for me.

Both Mocha and Latte are hooking up with this little beauty, who I call 'Cedar.'

I Wondering is Just Locality or Hypo Like You said... most of Lineatus are dark chocolate color.. and have White Striping...

Those two are milk chocolate with yellowish fainted Stripes... I'm getting Female soon so we see what will pop up from Breeding...

And One more time great collection...:thumbsup:

Aes, great looking Lineatus!

Yes, I suspect there is some kind of locality/hypo thing going on here. I have 3 male hatchlings I am raising up to breed with this female, too. Like you, I noticed most other Lineatus are typically dark brown or red with white/cream striping.

And yet, these yellow-striped guys are more common than I expected, too.

Beautiful house snakes! The red phase is my favorite. How are house snakes to handle, like how flighty are they? I am thinking of getting one. Are they like corns as far as handling?

Depend on Specie and individual... I have 2 striped/Hallowel's (identification in progress) Male is real sweetheart... female is WC adult and is calm... no problems with her...

I have pair of black phase common brown house snakes... male juvenile he always try run away... Female.. she is young adult she is the most fierce snake i ever encounter in my life:rofl::rofl::rofl:... with proper handling they should have typical a'la corn snake attitude...

Hey, Sara, I think you are the one I emailed about a female Dotted. I emailed you back a few days ago...but I think my emails may be going into your spam. I'm interested in the snake. Thanks!

This is a nice collection you have!
