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'm trying to get the Rosy Boa at the All-Cleveland Reptile Show & Sale this week. Just to confirm, Rosies have a reputation for being docile snakes, right? I'm only asking this because the last Rosy Boas I saw (at a Reptile exhibit in AZ) were told to be rare aggressive ones.

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 ). 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!

Thanks, Melissa! I got her from JMG in January. She's het anery, so I want to find a male anery 100% het albino for her. I like when anerys show lots of contrast between the black & silver, so hopefully I'll be able to find a nice one somewhere - but no, I haven't found a breeder yet.

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!
