Which Snake
I am not new to herps, however I have never really kept snakes (had a ball python for a couple years and sold him to a friend when I went to school, this is sometime ago now).
I do not want another ball python. I would like a pet snake, which will not mind some handling. I do not want a large snake Any help in choosing between an Okeetee corn snake, a sand boa, or a Rosy boa would be appreciated. I can accommodate various husbandry requirements. Thanks!

All three types of snakes you are considering are excellent choices. With their small size, friendly temperament, and ease of care, you can't go wrong with any of these species. My personal favorite of the three are the rosy boas. They are more active and visible than the KSB, and smaller than most corn snakes.
I actually breed rosy boas and KSB, so if you're thinking about picking up either of these species, feel free to reach out to me via PM for care information and a list of what I'll have available. I expect babies to start being born in November. |
Thanks, I was leaning toward a Rosy boa, that confirms it!
What morphs and/or localities are available? I like red, I also like grey/blue. Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk |
There are way too many localities to list. Morphs include several lines of anery, albino and hypo, hypermelanistic, and crosses thereof. Personally, I work with two localities: Mountain Springs, which are the blue/gray animals; and albino Harquahala, which are bright orange & cream. I should have both in the fall.
Here are two websites that show many of the localities: www.localityrosys.com www.bajaboas.com |

Here's a picture of our Mountain Springs sire.

For some reason I can't seem to upload the albino Harquahala pix, so if you want to see those, just PM me your email address.
