    Doea anyone keep them? If so could you give me somedetailed instuctions on keeping them? I've read a few care sheets but they were very vague, pretty much like 78 on the cool side 90 on the hot side, and have some deep burrowing substrate. Thanks for your time!

    That's about it! Other than that a minumum of a 10 gallon for only the smaller species. They do like to dig, but not as much as sand boas so you're likely to see them more. Low humidity is good. I don't have mine yet, waiting for them to be born.......sometime soon!

    Great site with lots of info:

    So I see you're still waiting to get your BP. Any ideas when you might get it? I bet you can't wait. I also se you're looking into other species - what else do you plan to get?

    That's a nice group of snakes to have. I'm waiting for my rosy and blue tongue skink to be born as well. Any idea what kind of rosy you want?

    I think I'll get a Mid Baja (San Felipe locale) rosy or either a Coastal (Whitewater locale) rosy...can't decide. Can't wait to see pics when you get your herps.

    Yeah, thanks! I might be a while before I can convince my mom to let me get two snakes. But I think I can do it! But i think shes ok with the bTS, but she does think that they are ugly. *shakes head* She'll never understand, LOL!

    I have been pooped on ....twice.....

    I have a Rosy Boa !!!!
    I have a mid Baja Rosy and I got to tell you that they are just the most mellow and easy to take care of snakes you could possibly imagine. I have my female on calci-sand in a ten gallon tank with the hot end about 90 and the cool end about 78 and that is about the size of it. They feed ravenously and the only thing you got to be careful about is making sure that you take OUT the water bowl about a day prior to feeding so that your rosy does not regurgitate. Other than that they are extremely simple to care for and are a joy to have....
