TINY Tanzanian House Snakes - Taxonomy, Feeding and more

Meet my new Tanzanian House Snake pair. They are far from the world's smallest snake, but they are TINY. This video outlines what I know so far.
African House snakes are my favorite family of snakes. They have an incredible feeding response, they're a manageable size, they're very curious, and they hold on like a little Boa or Python. These are my second of many more to come in the Lamprophiidae family. see you soon

From what I know the reason there bites hurt so much is tooth shape what I’ve heard is there more of a cone compared of other species really unique species!

House snakes are just the best. They make me do the Feet Thing too.

You can measure a snake accurately with a piece of string. Hold the end of the string by the nose and little by little run the string down the snake while holding the animal. Then measure the string flat.

Adorable 😍😍😍 My Kinue is a young/semi-mature housesnake (either fuliginosus, or capensis, not sure tbh) I've purchased some months ago. I didn't ask the breeder how old is she, but he claimed she's "grown up" so most likely adult, or adolescent. She's so curious and smart, but so easily scared and took her a long time to get used to me as her new (2nd) handler 💗🐍 I love her and my ball python female so much. I was thinking about getting a kingsnake in the future too, but rn my room is just too small for it LOL and let's just say I don't want my leopard gecko to die too quickly either, so I don't believe this space will be soon free, unless we'll install a rack system in the corner LOL good video, these snakes are trully unique and one of a kind 💗🐍

Ok so the snake was really cute, but that first clone bit pulling out the tub was jarringly good, I had to rewind to make sure lol

[@GrAce-fw1wz]

Can you show us Penelope’s enclosure? I want to see for inspo. Btw great video!

[@cnewsom6700]

The outro tho 😂 honestly I could watch this goofy motherfucker breed reptiles all day 😂😌🤘

[@ashleynicole4545]

Omg they are all too stinkin cute, i love them all! I used to help raise snakes and my favorite were the little rat snakes and king snake and I also had these two most beautiful carpet pythons! They had the most amazing eyes and prints but were not used to being handled so I always got bit a lot😂 (I so love thoes cute little bug eyes!)

[@Nicotina_3000]

my desire to get a snake just got bigger. They are soo interesting

[@kittyroxs]

Dont hand them to jumpy older ppl too like me lol i dropped someones tarantula once. He was fine. I was fine when he was chilling on me but a breeze came around and made him crawl a bit and it startled me!

[@TwinkleTwinkleTruly]

That “dude, you watching cute things … without me??”-look

[@snakelizard2343]

The tiniest snakes I have are my baby southern copperhead and my baby western diamondback rattlesnakes, my most painful bite was from my timber rattlesnake on December 3. Don’t join the venomous hobby 😅 don’t worry lol my diamondbacks are also siblings that I’ll be breeding to each other since one is het albino and the other is het melanistic! I plan on keeping ALL the babies

[@mani1357mani]

How oftenly do they eat?

[@k.poe.edwards_836]

I get squeamish watching my dog eat, so as much as I love snakes- I know I would not be a good parent to them. Your babies are little cuties though!

[@dilophoraptordouble]

Oh yeah I forget house snakes are colubrids tbh.

[@KingSkrap]

Cool

[@trala8911]

You can more easily measure a bendy squiggly thing using a dressmakers tape measure - the fabric or plastic kind that are bendable.

Wish we could have these guys in Australia 🥲
