Well, I am going to answer most of my own questions here having read the links and talked to a few people. I am putting this up for anyone else interested.

What is the size range for adults?

They are sexually very dimorphic in size. It appears to be about 24 - 30 inches for males, and 3 - 5 feet for females.

How large are the hatchlings? What do you start feeding hatchlings on?

about 6 - 10 inches, they should be fine with pinkies

I know they can breed year round, so presumably no cooling is required?

cooling does not appear to be needed, up to six clutches can be laid per year

These questions below I still do not know the answer to, so now I have gone away and done some reading, I would really appreciate some help please.

For those of you that keep them, what are your views on housing pairs together, vs. all separate housing? (I have heard both views.)
Which of the AHS, Aurora house snakes, and Namibian house snakes are most prolific?
What are the main differences between these species?
What are the down-sides of these species?
Where is a reputable place to get them in the US?


Finally, and probably most importantly to me - what is the hottest temperature I can safely incubate the eggs?

Thanks in advance, Skye
