RosyLess NO MORE!

I can't last a year or 3 without them...

I think I've been without for 2.5 years as of tonight.

They have a spot in my heart for sure! Without further ado...

She's gonna fix that void for me.

I think I would like to add one to my collection. They seem to be pretty easy to care for. Any opinions?

Easy to care for and generally very docile. Desert and mountain Rosys are very small, males are smaller than females. The Coastal ones are the biggest. They are slow moving and usually a very good beginner species.
Some can be perpetually hungry, which can make them not fun to deal with, feeding bites from a Rosy are pretty painful. Though usually that can be cured by adjusting your feeding schedule.

Babies can take awhile to get feeding and as a species, they tend to prefer live. They can be difficult to impossible to get switched to F/T, so if that's a requirement, make sure to get one that is already solidly eating it.

Males especially and sometimes females, typically fast off and on a few months out of the year, once they are adults. I find my Rosy boas do best, starting their second winter, if they are brumated for a couple months in the winter. I typically go from Nov to the beginning of Jan.

Need higher temps and a bit less humidity than corns do. But I keep small water bowls in with mine all the time, some care sheets tell you not to but I'm in a low humidity area and have never had a problem with that. Though I've heard some Rosys drink excessively after eating and that can cause them to regurge. So you'd want to keep an eye on that and if it's a problem, remove the water bowl for a day or two after feeding.

Thank you for all the info. I'm definitely a FT type of snake owner. If I saw a feeder do something cute, then I'd associate a name with it, and it would be a no go. Before you knew it, I'd be overrun with former feeders that I rescued. Then I'd need an intervention. Lol.
