unfortunately, the greens were bred in South Africa, as most of the morphs in the post originally were, and as far as i know no import has or is being arranged, so for the time being - no.
but the blue albinos and amelanistics and the supposed hypo that captaincaveman has, i may be getting those but I'm not sure yet, amels definitely though

Some nice snakes in there, I particularly like the green.
BTW the statement that the green is capensis because it breeds with capensis and produces fertile offspring is a bit too simplistic. We have all seen lots of clearly different species producing fertile offspring for that to be an argument.
But, whatever they are, I wouldn't mind a pair of those greens. _________________ Please visit Ron's Reptiles to see my collection

Nah, Jack Spirko has done a fair bit of research into the lamprophis species and he has bred the 3 together numerous times and got no fertile eggs. Thus coming to the conclusion that capensis fuliginosus and maculatus do not "hybridize" they reportedly successfully breed with certain other lamprophis species, the fact that the green crossed with the capensis would suggest that it was indeed a cape.
the head stripes & lack of pattern would also suggest that it is lamprophis capensis.
fuliginosus lacking the head stripes, or having very light, almost un-noticeable head stripes & maculatus having a dotted pattern.
