View Full Version : New Indigo & Ukiah pictures. Cape House snakes.
First up is Indigo. They were both in their 3 in 1 hides, so since they tend to be fast and a bit squirmy, I just left them in there for the pictures.

They're both very beautiful. I'd never seen or heard of cape house snakes until today. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful snakes for sure!
They are pretty much the African equivalent of the corn snake. Definitely a neat species and kind of under appreciated.

What are their husbandry requirements like? How large do they get? I could Google but I prefer to hear from keepers ;)

Very pretty snakes, especially Indigo. I really like the eyes which look so different. Thanks for sharing.

Females get around 4' and males pretty much max out around 3' and they like it a bit warmer than corn snakes. Hot side around 87-90 and cool side 75-78 or so. Most are very good eaters and take F/T mice readily.

Thanks! I love their eyes too! Look kind of venomous without being venomous!
Very nice snakes, and great pictures.
Does the albino have something in its nostril? It looks like a black spec in there or something.
You know, I noticed that too but couldn't see anything in her nostril when I got looking closely.

Snapped a few pictures of Indigo a minute ago while I had her out to hold.

What are their personalities like? Indigo is gorgeous!
Fairly similar to a corn, maybe a bit flightier in general than corns.

Great pics, I love these guys! The colubrids in your collection that you've posted pics of are some of the only ones I think I'd own :D
