This is just a copy of my post over on the Lamprophis proboards:
Definitely the dark phase of L. fuliginosus. I have a pair myself.
Often these are sold as "olive" house snakes, which tends to lead to confusion, making one think they are actually L. olivaceus (which are pretty rare in the U.S.)
They are sometimes referred to as "black" house snakes, which occasionally makes one believe they are L. inornatus, which is sometimes called the black house snakes, and also rare in captivity).
As most species have some form of a dark phase, I recently started to refer to these snakes as "purple" house snakes, as they often take on a purple/midnight blue coloration.
