    Rosy boas morphs?
    So I have this little guy. Full grown but has darker pigment outside the red stripes. I picked him because of his darker complexion. Can someone help me tell if is a morph or something different?

    Uploading photos now.

    Rosy Boas are kinda like Carpet Pythons - if you don't buy a known locality or mutation, it's likely a mix. (Locality is HUGE in Rosies.)

    That said, it looks like an average adult San Felipe, a very commonly bred locality, or some cross there of. A desert locality animal, in any event.

    This isn't 100%, but, in general, Desert Rosies have straight even stripes; Mexican Rosies have dark to black stripes; Arizonan Rosies are kinda coffee/chocolaty; Coastal Rosies have jagged stripes, as do Coastal/Desert intergrades, blending to unicolor. There are some pretty awesome websites that are way more help than I can be, but that's sort of an overview. Also, this is very, very broad. Some sources have the main divisions as subspecies, others give them full species status.

    I agree, & there's no telling for sure...many desert/coastal intergrades look just like yours, while some have irregular stripes. I've bred them & still have one. I also
    found a rosy boa in the high desert with darker brownish stripes instead of the rust color. :confusd: The ONLY way to be sure is to pay for locality from trustworthy sources.
