a freebie from work (rosy boa)

i was working at the petshop today when a lady came in with a really nice critter she couldnt keep . she is moving to oklahoma or someplace out that way . anyways she didnt want anything for it so my boss offered it to me for free . i am now the proud new owner of a real nice female coastal rosy boa she is a full grown 03 model . i think she is just beautiful and she fits right in with my future plans . i got a few pics before i put her in her new home to settle in .









she has a sweet disposition and though i havent fed her myself yet , i was told by the previous owners that she is a little garbage disposal . she is an unexpected addition but since i had new quarters all set for the 2 rosy's i have on layaway , i had somewhere to put her and i'll just get another tank to replace it . i'm stoked , this is just another little bonus to my growing addiction .

Awesome snag! She's a great looking snake. You might want to consider posting your pics on the www.localityrosys.com forum and see if anyone can identify a locality for her. She's beautiful and seems to have a really distinctive look to her. I'd be curious to know what she is.

How can someone assign a locality if no locale information was provided? That would be irresponsible and would undermine the Rosy hobby. Appearance is not always reflective of location as there is so much variation and it may not be a good idea to encourage this practice of assigning a locality without knowing any history.

I guess I didn't come across clearly. I wasn't meaning that he should try to assign a locality to her so that he could produce "locality pure" offspring (that would not be possible). But, often times people do seem to be able identify subspecies (coastal vs desert etc). There can be some interesting speculation as well as to what localities it might be from, or what localities were crossed to make it.

I also think she's a lovely snake. If someone were to say she looks like a snake from such and such locale, I'd probably add that locale to my wish list So, I'm kind of curious as to what people think she might be.

I'm just curious where they said they think she's from. I actually have a couple that look a lot like her!

I kind of wonder if she could be a cross between a couple of localities. She seems to have a lot of black tipping like the Carrizo Rd, but more orange. I can't seems to find any that match perfectly. She's a cool snake.
