Quite commonly mistaken for yellow phase Cape cobras in Sth Africa and end up being bashed with a spade:-( But are really nice snakes keep, I had 4 of um.
Great looking snake. Way more money than the reg house snakes. Do they stay as "small" and how are they tempermeant wise?

Thanx! Yea the one in this pic was the largest i've ever seen and she was 5yrs old and ~75cm long.
Never had any Aurora's attempt to bite. Wild caught ones do the whole flicking around thing and spray musk everywhere tho, but even that isn't overly bad and they settle quite well into captivity given time and infrequent handling.
Care is pretty much the same as for Brown house snakes.
Yea they're cute snakes i'd recommend them (just one thing: hatchlings might need really small pinkies or geckos).
