It's a tough call; and I imagine each snake has its own personality - my two snakes may not necessarily be representative of the entire species. But I'll give it my best shot.

Kenyan Sand Boa
- hides more
- calmer when handled (a "snuggler")
- cute face
- very smooth body, except rough tail
- pokes its head out in hopes of an ambush
- smaller adult size
- normal is cheaper
- picky eater at first - harder to get on f/t

Rosy Boa
- many localities to choose from
- VERY smooth all over
- more distinction between head and neck
- slightly larger adult size
- more active - both in the tank and out, but still a slow mover
- sometimes more interested in getting out and about than eating

I hope this helps. I like them both for different reasons. The KSB is more of a snuggler, which I like. The rosy is more often seen cruising his tank, so I like that.

Good luck! Let us know what you pick. My best advice would be to go to a reptile show and hold one of each.
