This smaller species of boa is naturally found in the American Southwest, but mine have been domesticated their whole lives. I have had these rosies since they were babies, which was probably around seven years ago, though an exact date is uncertain. A well-kept rosy can live past 25 years though, so they are certainly at a good healthy age yet. These snakes are currently adults and have been fed regularly, eating thawed frozen hopper mice with no problems.
Rosy boas are very easy snakes to take care of and are quite common among the herpetoculturist community. Bedding can include sand, cypress mulch, and even newspaper. Lighting is not necessary, and just half of the cage should have an undertank heating pad.
Any beginner looking for a nice place to start or enthusiasts who want to add some gorgeous snakes to their collection can not miss out on these pretty snakes!
Call 712-737-2495 or 712-574-0115 (cell) for questions.
I have attached the url to a video I took of the snakes yesterday for you to get a better idea how they look. By the way, you will notice in the video that one of the rosies has a small spot on the head. About two years ago, it got in the way of the other rosy, which was startled and snapped back, removing a few scales. There is no need to worry as this has not and will not pose any threat to its health, and occurrences as this are quite rare.
