Boaedon capensis
The Cape house snake (''Boaedon capensis'') is a species of colubrid from South Africa (from KwaZulu-Natal all the way through to the Western Cape), Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. They are a non-venomous colubrid.
This species was previously grouped in the genus ''Lamprophis'' but is regrouped with the genus ''Boaedon'' 〔.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.

== Appearance ==
Cape House Snakes are usually dark brown on top but the colour varies greatly, from almost black through brown to olive green. The stripes that stretch from the rostral scale through the eye to the back of the head are very strong, thick and bold. Often this species may have a lateral stripe running down the flanks, this often resembles the links of a chain, they sometimes too have lateral stripes running along either side of the spine, linking lines between the lateral striping is not uncommon. These body markings tend to be a paler brown/cream in colour on top of the often dark, chocolate-brown base tones, these markings normally fade after 2/3's of the body until only the base colour remains but there are exceptions to the rule. Individuals without pattern are often found in the wild, these individuals have the head markings but no markings on top of an often pale-brown body colour. Like all House Snakes, ''Boaedon capensis'' is very irrdescent, their scales often shining with an oily sheen in certain lights. This is a sexually dimorphic species, females growing substantially larger than males, sometimes reaching up to males smaller often only reaching .
