About the Brown House Snake

The African house snake (Boaedon fuliginosus) is a species of snake of the family Lamprophiidae. Harmless to humans, it is widely kept and bred in captivity as a pet by herpetoculturists due to its small size, placid demeanor and easy care requirements.

The snake is found in Africa, mainly preferring relatively drier areas as habitat. See Boaedon capensis as it is the same species Species Boaedon fuliginosus at The Reptile Database Wikipedia →
