    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello Folks,
Thought I'd continue my newbie introduction by posting some collection pics.

Nyoka, a mid CB'06 female Cape House Snake, Boaedon capensis, she was my second House Snake and was actually sold to me as a male! Then she grew to 4 feet and laid eggs, d'oh!


A Late CB'10 T+Albino Male Cape House Snake, bred by myself from 'KZN Giant' South African Stock.


CB'10 female T+Albino Patternless Cape Housie, from 'my line' of patternless which is still being worked out, I'm sure I can clean that colour variance up with enough breeding.


A CB'08 female Anerythristic Cape House Snake, from 'KZN Giant' lines, bred in ZA & imported to the UK by a friend and I got her September last year, she has just laid a clutch of 12 eggs mated to a T-Albino ;)



A CB'09 female T-Albino Cape Housie, she's a cracker & I know just the male to put to her when she's big enough to try and get more of that striping.


A late CB'10 Hypomelanistic Male Cape House Snake, bred by a friend in England & one of the newest additions to the collection.


Zania, a wild caught female Striped House Snake, Boaedon lineatus.


Tiny, a CB'06 female Dotted House Snake, Boaedon maculatus.


Right, I'll stop now, before I bore you all haha!
Hope you like!

Thanks Ann! Glad you like, I have a load more but those represent the number and variety of morphs & species I own. :)
I get that a lot, many folks don't realize all that is out there house-snake wise, particularly in the US where many of these morphs are not yet available, not en masse anyway.
 
Cheers Wade! I really can't recommend them enough! Great snakes to keep, feeding response is intense. Especially in the adults, juveniles can be a massive pain in the behind though!
 
Hmmmmm...did not look at where you were! I wonder what it costs to ship across the pond? I used to ship fish from Asia, cost about 80$, but I always went through a transshipper.
 
I looked in to it once a while back and I think it was something like $100 USD per animal. Unless it went through a company who specialised in livestock import/export, but I sadly know of no such company.
 
It just so happens that I'm browsing my flickr account at the moment so I figure, why not post a couple more shots?
