I have a trio of Cape House Snakes (Lamprophis Capensis) het
for albino.They look very similar to the Common Brown House Snake (Lamprophis Fuliginosus) and up until 10 years ago were classed
the same.From what I've been reading there hasn't been an
albino Fuliginosus found yet,just lots miss-classed.
This would probably explain why
no one has bred a snow house as yet because there is
anery Fuliginosus and albino Capensis but these two
species won't make a hybrid.

Any chance of posting some pics or explanations of the difference.
I have Four house snakes all looking slightly different in appearance and all sold with different names and prices, don't know how much of this to take as gospel.

Any facts would be great.

I've heard there are 14 species?

I know of a few... Brown, aurra, olive, yellow bellied, Fisk's, spotted, stripped, sachells.

Any one know of any good links/sights with images of these snakes?
