After a few years, I finally got my first snakes.

These are not Lamprophis fuliginosus, but Lamprophis maculatus, the lace (or dotted, or spotted) house snake, most of their range is in Somalia, ranging to the south, through Kenya into Tanzania. These are F1 hatchlings from Roy Stockwell, the parents WC originating from Tanzania.
