Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Do Rosy Boa Localities Affect Temperament/Size?
I've been doing some reading on rosies since I'd like to get one once I have a few more months of corn snake care under my belt. I'd like a small, docile boa that doesn't go off the feed as much as a BP, and the rosy seems to fit the bill.
Do the localities have a direct effect on the temperament and size of a rosie? For instance, I've heard that San Felipes tend to be smaller than the others, and another locality(maybe coastal?) tends to be slightly more aggressive than the others. Is this accurate? What, other than color, is affected by locality?
I really like how the Harquahala looks, so I'd be going with that one if all localities were created equal. Also, if you guys have any resources on locality information other than localityrosys.com, that'd be appreciated!

I used to keep a few different rosy localities (Mexican, Arizona, San Felipe, and Anza Borrego). All were docile except the Anza Borrego, who would bite me everytime I picked her up. I don't think I kept enough numbers though to say that my experience was representative of the localities, or if that particular snake was just nippy They are a fun little snake to work with. There are others here with much more experience

I've often heard Mexican rosies called some of the most docile of the localities, sorry I can't remember off hand the ones I've heard called the least docile. And yes, locality does have something to do with size, the mountain and desert locales/species are the smallest and the coastals are the largest. I have Mexicans and really like them.
