Boaedon angolensis ( Bocage, 1895) View in CoL

Angolan House Snake ( Fig. 29A–B View Fig )

Material: One unlabelled bleached specimen in the private collection of Carmira Farm.

Comment: This species was recently recorded from BNP ( Butler et al. 2019). The scalation of the Carmira Farm specimen (23 midbody scale rows, 116 ventrals, more than 55 subcaudals, see Fig. 29A–B View Fig for head scalation), accords with the revision of Angolan house snakes currently in progress (Hallermann et al., unpub. data).
