    Rosy Boas: Which do you prefer?

    After I release Callisto when it's summer, I plan to get get a Rosy Boa to occupy her empty cage. The problem is that there are so many variations for Rosy Boas and I don't know which one I should get, so I thought of hearing your opinion. Also, if you can, try to post some pics.

    I don't know that much about Rosy Boa sub-species so I might have typed 2 of the same sub-species by accident without knowing that they were the same thing.

    Re: Rosy Boas: Which do you prefer?

    So hard to choose! I love coastals and deserts.

    OhBalls, is that a Pala?

    Here is an AWESOME website to look at the various localities.

    I love the Morongo Valley and Otay Lake localities. Sigh, I don't even know what I have since he's a rescue. But probably a San Jacinto. What do you guys think?

    I am partial to Mexicans...but maybe that's because we had one up at my old job for like a year and I got really attached to him. He was the sweetest snake in the world. I still don't know why I never bought him.

    Re: Rosy Boas: Which do you prefer?

    Thats a tough one. My favorites are the Coastal Unicolors, but I don't care for the rest of the Coastals. The nicest looking locales IMO are from Baja, but the Arizona Organ Pipe triv triv is smokin'. My all time favorite rosy is The California desert's Morongo Valley and a lot of the different Calif. locales are very nice. hmmm thats a tough one-LOL. I am a rosy addict. I hate the thought that I am getting out of them for now.
