I can’t play the sound on the video. How thick do these snakes get? Girth?

[@takeofoxsama6198]

I just got a black house snake ( my first snake ) and this was super informative in addition to all the research I have already done previously!!

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Awesome that is great to hear! I am glad you found it helpful, enjoy your new snake : )

[@takeofoxsama6198]

Ultimate Exotics Reptiles thank you so much! Solar eclipse has settled into the family rather nicely! It’s fun to watch them be so explorative at night and honestly despite being a baby tolerates being handled fairly easily after the first panic of being picked up. I truly love the little one and am looking forward to watching solar grow!

[@Khi420]

How’s she going I’m thinking of getting a black house snake also?

[@takeofoxsama6198]

@@Khi420 they are doing super well! They have a wonderful food response and in my opinion are less squirmy than corn snakes. This species also loves to burrow and climb so they are really fun to watch. I actually fell in love with this species so much I now have a t+ albino as well now. Both are doing fantastic. Only skips a meal when they are in blue. Their temperature control and humidity is easy to control. They are a very hardy smaller species of snake. I absolutely recommend!

[@bunny8821]

@@takeofoxsama6198 What do your snakes prefer to eat? I know they can eat many different food items and some snakes really like one item over another.

[@GamesAndShips]

I wish I had seen this video before I got my baby, my first few handling sessions she jumped right out of my hands! Haha, she's calmed down a lot now, though they are escape artists. Only snake I've ever had escape on me. Great informational video!

[@jamescrlson3199]

The water bowl with the cap on is genius!!!

[@Royal-Rover]

A new subscriber here! Thanks for the info. I always thought they were more arboreal than terrestrial. I've got a female brown juvenile which is extremely smart & alert! Love this group of pet snakes!

[@Volmaan]

Great and informative video. Those T- minus colours really looks good and pictures do not do them justice

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Agreed, their colours are amazing!

Thanks Matt, I am glad to hear that😊

I recently got my first snake, a female African house snake any beginner advice you could give for a first time snake owner? I appreciate this video especially the hot spot and the humidity levels.

[@maxstringer4799]

Top Quality video guys 🙂! I really like the new text you have included.

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Thanks Max! I am glad you enjoyed it :)

[@ramonlarson6806]

Awesome video!!! And those Zambian greens😱 There really aren't enough house snake videos. Would be cool to see them just being handled while your talking like at the end with the butter male to show their temperament, size and how fast they move around

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Thanks! Yes I really like the Black House Snakes!

[@AllThingsWrasslin]

In my experience these house snakes are more prone to be picky eaters than ball pythons, and that says a lot lol. They are amazing animals.

[@arthomarts8034]

Then how would you get one to eat if it's a picky eater then? Am curious to know in general

[@livingoutsidethebubble]

Very useful, thank you. Love the tee.

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

I am glad you found it useful, thank you for watching : )

[@livingoutsidethebubble]

Getting a fuliginosus girl baby next week. I know keeping the adults separate is recommended, but can pre-adults and same sexes co-habit? I don't remember separating them back in the day, but we probably were winging it as there was much less info available.

[@livingoutsidethebubble]

@@UltimateExoticsReptiles I was told by the breeder that fuliginosus prefer 28 degrees and higher humidity. Is this true?

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

@@livingoutsidethebubble Hi Caro, yes that is mostly true, I would say the hot spot needs to be 30 degrees : )

[@livingoutsidethebubble]

@@UltimateExoticsReptiles thanks I feel better about 30 degrees.

[@talhakathrada6742]

Really informative video. I currently have only one normal house snake but definitely plan on getting a few morphs soon. Out of curiosity, is it possible to breed a boaedon capensis to a boaedon fuliginosus?

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Hi Talha, that is great to hear. Yes it is possible as they are very similar, but it is best to try and always keep the species pure :)

[@lifefly96]

THX I JUST GOT MINE!!! [brown house snake wohhh]

[@beastkingthe1st771]

Could you do a bio active enclosure with these animals to reduce cleaning?

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Yes you can no problem, as long as the substrate isn't too wet, thanks

[@subducks5521]

I'm getting an albino cape are they good for handling?

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

That is great to hear. They can be a bit fast as babies but they tame down well and are very easily to handle especially as they get older : )

[@chuckpace6389]

Hello and I love your quality information videos… I have two ,a male and female - 5 month old black African house snakes and I want to know if I can cohabit them ? or will one try to eat the other ? Thanks in advance, Charley USA

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Hi Charley, thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Yes you can cohab them together just when it comes to feeding make sure to separate them and then also you will need to be prepared for them to breed if they are being kept together, thanks!

[@chuckpace6389]

@@UltimateExoticsReptiles Thanks for the quick reply 👍🏼 Can I keep males together also ?

[@rylenvanderhoek2834]

I have a few questions: when you mean at night to turn all light off, does that include heat as well? at night, do you turn the heat totally off? the hide closest to the heat, was that a humidity hide? are you supposed to keep it in direct light, or just enough to keep it warm? I've seen lights that are dimmed to a blue shade at night, but brightens the cage a little bit so you can see. is that alright for them? and, even though you said they have no specific light or anything, what type of light do you use for them? how do you maintain the humidity at 40%-60% in the terrarium? out of the house snakes you've owned, what is the average lifespan? How do you know the heat light is maintaining 30 degrees Celsius? is there usually a special setting on the light?

[@GoldenButter]

thank you!! 😁😁

Hi Willem, yes they make very good pets. Just some provinces in South Africa you will require a permit to keep the Cape House Snake (Boaedon capensis), thanks.

Where can I get one if I live in Alaska (albino capensis)

[@michaelgouws947]

Bertus kyk my comment 👀

[@germaineparham9372]

Oh so these are typically small snakes like milsnakes . I thought they get like 6ft

[@ShyGotta_a3]

Is a 30 gal vertical tank too small?

[@Balooey]

What do you suggest for cage size ?

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Fo an adult female I would say I good cage size is 90cm x 40cm (3ft cage). As the males are much smaller than the females they can be kept in something smaller, thanks :)

[@Balooey]

@@UltimateExoticsReptiles how can I purchase a male boaedon from you ? And I also noticed your website doesn't display the prices .

[@convictedconstrictors574]

Can you tell me any significant differences between Lineatus and Fuliginsous? I’m trying to decide which ones to get. Thanks in advance

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Hi Jake! Lineatus is a significantly smaller species and the babies can be quite tricky to get onto pinkies. Fuliginosus and capensis are bigger and hatchings eat pinkies easily and I would say they are hardier. Thanks!

[@convictedconstrictors574]

Ultimate Exotics Reptiles Can you tell me about what adult Lineatus male and females are when they reach maturity?

[@twotonedfishing]

Do these eat other snakes? I’ve heard them called poor man black king snake

[@UltimateExoticsReptiles]

Hi there, no they don't eat other snakes. The Black House snakes where called that as they were black like the black king snakes and much cheaper than them, thanks!

My baby is absolutly crazy! How should i approch him when handling? He doesnt want anythinh to do with me but i need him to get used to me when i get him out to clean is enclosure, weight him etc. He flies out of his enclosure, twitches and bites😅 he his so small i can use a hook with him... I want to be able to handle without him escaping and biting me... i feel bad about trying to handle him but if i dont try i feel like he wont get used to it 🥲
