    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Coastal vs Whitewater Rosys

It could be a Hemet local Coastal, or even another. It could also be a Whitewater. It is really hard to say. Can you post a pic that shows the side a little better. Whitewaters will often have very fine dark edging between the pink and the blue-grey, and this is most obvious on their sides. This can be seen best in Wilomn's 3rd pic that he posted.

Again Whitewaters sometimes look very much like Coastals, and other times just like Deserts. Whitewaters are thought to be intergrades between the two subspecies since their range is found in the center of what would be the intergrade zone between the two different subspecies. So when you say Whitewater or Coastal from the pic, I would remind you that it could look very much like both and it actually does.

Either way it is literally impossible to tell exactly what you have for sure without specific and complete history that would need to trace back to the original Wild collected stock that from which it came. Anyway, from that one pic, I am leaning toward the Hemet Coastal, but that is just a hunch, and not at all definite. That being said it is a really nice Rosy!

Here's a pic that show her side better. I've had one pet shop tell me she's a Whitewater, and another pet shop told me she's a Coastal. It's just frustrating. She's CB so I have no idea where the original ones were caught in the wild.

Sorry, but I cannot give you a better ID. Whitewater Rosy Boas are just way too variable. Could it be a Whitewater? Sure. Is it a Whitewater? There is just NO way of knowing if it is a Whitewater, or any other local for that matter, without reliable ID information on the wild collected stock that it traces back to. I wish I could help you more.
