Give us an locality man.
If I'm gonna be an old, lonely man, I'm gonna need a thing, you know, a hook, like that guy on the subway who eats his own face. So I figure I'll be Crazy Man with a Snake, y'know. Crazy Snake Man. And I'll get more snakes, call them my babies, kids won't walk past my place, they will run. "Run away from Crazy Snake Man, " they'll shout!”

What part of the Western Cape?
Should I doubt captive bred?

Yip it wont be captive but it is still nice to see that they are so unique in the Cape. The books don't show them with such an nice pattern.

...that is beautiful! We often take our local snakes for granted because we are too busy looking at what exotics there are, that snake is in my opinion the best looking little spotty I have ever seen!

Minus the spots it would be an Swazi Rock Snake.

Very reduced patterns, these are the ones the Europeans go nuts for. Hence the Recent smugglers which were caught had them. Do you know if it is feeding at all?
