Re: How many KSB's and Rosies owned by site members?
I have one male coastal rosy boa, and I love him!! He is beautiful, sweet, gentle, and docile. Did I mention he has a wonderful temperment? lol
In answer to the question, I had never heard of rosy boas being anything other than complete sweethearts.

We have a pair of Rosey Boas and a Pair of KSB... We love both of them... I look to add more of each to my collection eventually... :)

I've heard of a few being nippy. But mine is SO sweet. Our kids (6 and 3) handle him just fine (with supervision, for the snake's benefit, not for theirs :D). Just ask to hold a few and see if you get a feel for their temperaments before you buy. Have fun! You'll love how SMOOTH they feel. Wow!

How exciting to be looking for a mate for her. I know of a couple breeders that do KSB's. I got mine from BHB, and love their customer service. I know he does anery, but am not sure about albino - probably (http://www.bhbreptiles.com/). I know that Jason Hess does some anery and albino breeding (http://www.jasons-jungle.com/). They both have great reputations. Keep us posted on your matchmaking and good luck!

I've heard of their "smooth moves" but I never held one before. That's one more thing to look forward to when I get this Rosy!

Oh yeah, you'll LOVE it! They are SO smooth. Wow! Somehow those long stripes just glide through your fingers. Enjoy and report back!
