    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....

Hi everyone, when I moved for college in 04, I bought an adult "male" rosy boa from a local pet store. I know that there were people breeding them at the time, but there were not locales placed on them unfortunately. I bought the guy and have had him ever since. He is great eater, but what if I want to breed him? Wouldnt I need to find out what locale he is? Or how does that whole thing work... If I just bought a random rosy female, would they be interested in each other???
Any one who can help, I would greatly appreciate it :) Thanks, Ann
 
You will most likely never with any certainty know what locality your rosy is. If you want to breed locality rosys you should start with a pair of locality rosys. If you do not care about breeding locality specific snakes, your male rosy should breed with any other female rosy without any problems, if you want non-locality babies, there is nothing wrong with that.
I have had quite a few mutt rosy litters and they were all awsome looking snakes , if you are trying to sell them it may not be as easy.
 
Post a pic and we can probably narrow it down to one of the types of rosy boas, but you can't attribute a locality to it.

Lets see if this works...

Here is a picture of him, unfortunately my battery died, so its with my phone
:(
 
That works :) I got the camera battery charged, so Ill see what I can get out of that... Were they just bred together years back before anyone started to separate them by locale???
 
yeah, looks like a mutt to me too. I'd guess from its looks that its something Baja mixed with a little coastal CA perhaps. Interesting how the center stripe stayed mostly solid while the side stripes seem to have the jagged coastal influence.
Just get yourself a female Whitewater albino. No one will care that the babies are crossed if they're het for albino. :) In fact, I bet AncientDNA has an albino laying around. :thumbsup:

Pretty cool lookin boa.
