    Considering a Rosy Boa

    Hey there!
    I'm currently looking for some tips on getting a Rosy Boa.
    For one, the only petstore around here who even sells Rosies is Petsmart, but they're animals are always underkept and I don't like buying from them because they abuse their animals in my opinion.
    So I'm wondering if anyone knows any reliable rosy boa breeders.
    Also what is the best substrate? I know they like to burrow. The main problem for me is I have an allergy to aspen shavings (it's why I keep reptiles :<) but I do have some Reptimulch and Reptimoss. Is sand any good for them?
    I'm not looking for any morphs, anything under 150 would be nice. I have plenty of terrariums to choose from.
    I looked at care sheets and they weren't specific enough for me, I love having happy and healthy pets and I make it a point to put in their cage what is best for them.
    Any tips would be appreciated, and anything that clears these things up for me would be loved

    Chanting... Do it, do it, do it! Go to ancientdna.com. Or, something close to that, or search... John Columbus! Dude's awesome! Tell him I sent ya

    Rosy's are absolutely worth having around! Come back and post pics of your pickup when/if you get it done!

    Um.. I went there and all there was is dna testing stuff... I'm not quite sure how this helps me.

    Well, he did say to do a search for John Columbus. A 20 second search on google and I came up with his website for Jersey Shore Rosies: http://www.rosyboas.to/

    I've heard of John too and he's one of the top guys for Rosies. Sometimes, google is your best friend.........
