Boaedon lineatus
The striped house snake (''Boaedon lineatus'') is a species of Lamprophiid from throughout Africa. This species has a wide range stretching from Tanzania through Central Africa as far as Uganda. They are kept as pets with increasing regularity, often captured and exported for the pet trade.
Until November of 2010, this species was grouped in the genus: ''Lamprophis'' but a paper was published by Kelly et al. reclassifying this species to the ''Boaedon'' genus. 〔Kelly, C.M.R., et al. Molecular systematics of the African snake family Lamprophiidae, Fitzinger, 1843 (Serpentes: Elapoidea), with particular focus on the genera ''Lamprophis'', Fitzinger 1843 and ''Mehelya'', Csiki 1903. Mol. Phylogenet. Evol. (2010), 〕
== Appearance ==
This species is highly variable in appearance, their colour varying from deep black through light reddish brown and often greenish. Their eyes are large & 'bug-like' with vertically elliptical pupils. Stripes stretch from the rostral scale above the mouth through the eye to the rear of the head where they typically terminate. The species gains its nae due to the thick, bold white/cream stripes which stretch laterally along the length of the body, these occasionally terminate after around two thirds of the body & may be broken or very pale. Uncommonly these stripes are totally absent. Striped House Snakes are highly sexually dimorphic, females growing far larger than males, reaching lengths of around males generally smaller rarely exceeding . As with all members in the genus ''Boaedon'' these snakes are highly iridescent, having an oil-on-water sheen in certain lights.
