Description
Squeee! It's 'Gabriel' the Striped African House Snake!
He's about a foot and a half and will only grow to about two feet.
Right now he's hiding in his cave after being transported from Las Vegas.

Hey, just went and read up on these guys. Sounds like they are really easy to keep, but the price seems variable. How much did yours cost? And are you aware that they are really easy to breed?

I got mine for 75$. Yeah, I read that they breed like rabbits! Which is why I only got a male.

Why would you not what to breed something that could be sold for 75 bucks each and is as easy to keep as a snake?

My husband is barely tolerant of the one snake...let alone breeding.

Hmm.
I know! Send him to me.
That'll fix everything.

Snakes are cool, and this one is no exception.
What kind of enclosure do you keep it in?

He's so adorable! Having been around snakes (venomous and not) since I was about four, I have a healthy respect for them ... but it's difficult not to squee over little Gabe here!

He is one good-looking snake...which is saying a lot seeing as I merely admire snakes...from considerable distance!

I love snakes! I used to go rooting around for them behind my house. It was kind of annoying when they peed all over me, though!

That's awesome. Of course that's not pee cause reptiles don't produce urine. What they were probably doing was 'musking' you. It is a foul smelling liqiud they excrete to make you put them down.

I shoulda known that!
I didn't know that they don't produce urine, but I knew he was doing it so I'd put him down.
Do snakes go to the bathroom at all?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They produce Uric Acid (like birds) which is a white crystaline substance in place of urine.

He is a cutie!!
He's a bad ass too. He's already bitten me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Though, if someone sent me through the mail in a box I'd probably bite too...

I'm sure he'll become more friendly as you two get to know eachother better...hopefully he won't give you as much trouble as his namesake *grins*

Perhaps naming him Gabe is a mistake.

You should hear what the Hammy Dreams named Danni get's up to

It's stressing being FedEx-ed, I'd bite too.

They are great little buggers, but you don't see them in the pet trade too offten. This one is a captive bred from Las Vegas.

(Gives a gasp in awe.) That's a beautiful creature you've got in your hand. I love how beautiful snakes are. <3 Is it posionus, though?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He looks venomous doesn't he? It's the eyes. But thankfully no he is not. Which is good cause he bit me when I was taking him out of his box.
Snakes really are breath taking. I'll get some clearer shots of him after he's had a chance to settle in.

Well, I don't sterotype a posionous snake, so I wouldn't know unless I was told if it was posionous or not.X3 Ooo.. Yikes! That is good.
Ooo.. Nice.^^ I'd love to see those.^^ <3
