That tigersnake is a hatchling about 13cm I'd guess. Tiny still. Their eyes are their selling point. I love orange, so an orange snake with big orange eyes.. Oh yes!

Often the most underrated of the Dasypeltis genus, these pretty snakes grow larger then their relatives & once on chicken eggs, makes for the easiest captive in the world.

This beautiful snake is as inquisitive & feisty as ever. Just love taking photos of these!

Some people still argue about there being true albino house snakes, this snake almost glows it is so bright.

My lovely striped Skaapsteker, very underrated snakes.

And then finally a shot of one of my little gems, the easiest snakes in the world to photograph, impossible not to make them look good!

Cheers.
