The species being captive-bred include banana California kingsnakes, Blair's gray-banded kingsnakes, Lampropeltis ruthveni, L. The patterns on these captive-bred snakes are particularly nice, and the colors extremely vibrant. Off of the garage is a colubrid room where Slash and his caretaker house an impressive number of captive-bred kingsnakes. A majestic pair of rhinoceros iguanas occupy cages in the living room. Indeed, custom cages built into the walls of the home itself are a common feature at this residence. ![]() Regardless of the damage, the house was beautiful.Īs I entered Slash's front door, a very large (over 22 feet) reticulated python greeted me from its cage beneath a stairway. ![]() Earthquake damage from Los Angeles' January 1994 quake was evident at his home, and plans to rebuild were underway. Once we met, we were able to speak in more detail about his collection, and I was able to meet firsthand several of Slash's cherished pets. After speaking a couple more times over the next month, we decided to meet at Slash's Beverly Hills home in late November. Since we both had busy, conflicting schedules, we postponed the interview and photo shoot until our agendas were less hectic. Slash reads REPTILES magazine and enjoys it, and he was perfectly happy to meet me for an interview. Although I genuinely appreciate Slash's music, a strong interest in reptiles is the common ground we both share. Music has never been the primary focus of our discussions. ![]()
