Rosy boa ?????

We found A small snake while hiking in the mountains near mammoth, Ca. My 7 yr old brought it home we are pretty sure it is a very juvenile rosy boa. It is all pink though, most of the ones we've seen have stripes, do the juveniles get their stripes later????? any care help would be appreciated also. Thanks

Can you post a pic?

Sounds like a juvie rubber boa.

mammoth is way too high for rosys its a rubber boa fer sure

Thanks for the replys, After looking one up it is exactly a rubber boa. Are they as cool as a rosy boa, as a pet, and is the care the same.

If you plan on keeping him/her, you should check out this website.

It's the best site I know of on rubber boas.
Enjoy. I've never kept one, but I think they're interesting little boas.

not to cast a dark cloud on your awesome find, but you may want to check up on the legalities of capturing rubber boas in california. i'm pretty sure they are considered protected, and you may have to obtain a permit to have/catch one. i know for a fact that here in ridgecrest/kern county(you probably drove by it on the way to mammoth) you need a permit to catch and keep rosies. not to say that it is illegal to own a rubber boa, just that im not sure about catching a california native. i think i remember seeing somewhere that there was some sort of breeding thing going on a year or two ago, will have to double check on that. but anywho, WHOOOHOOO! way to go, have yet to see one out here myself! would love to see pics

wow....... Didn't even think about that. Hope my 7 year old doesn't go to snake prison. I will try to post a pic as soon as I can get one. Thanks for the info.
