Black African House Snake

The Black African House Snake is an elegant, glossy, jet-black constrictor that’s as striking as it is easy to care for. Known for its calm demeanor and adaptability, this species makes an excellent choice for new and experienced snake keepers alike. Its iridescent scales reflect deep purple and bronze hues under light giving it a truly mesmerizing appearance.

Native to Sub-Saharan Africa, these snakes are hardy, active at night, and enjoy exploring their enclosures. With proper handling and consistent care, they quickly become calm, curious companions that thrive in captivity.

🌿 Care Notes:

Provide a warm ambient temperature of 78–85°F, a basking spot near 88°F, and humidity between 50–70%. A loose substrate like coconut fiber or aspen works perfectly, along with hides and branches for climbing.
