Rosies are great little snakes. Unfortunately underated as well. They are easy on space, easy to care for, great temperaments, dazzling array of colour and pattern variations to choose from. Despite their stout build and burrowing habits, rosies will climb anything ya put in their enclosure. Really, I can't find ANY downside to these animals. I'm sure you'll love yours! :D

Adults usually can live in a 10 - 15 gallon tank, some older females may require a 20 gallon tank. Very space efficient animals. Rosies are awesome! :D

I wouldn't put too big of a water dish in with your rosy especially if it's a baby. I have had troubles with rosies soaking in their dishes and getting RI. I have also heard this piece of advice from other rosy enthuiasts.

this rosy boa is awsome.A friend of mine brought his little girl over to see the snakes.She asked if she could hold 1.Idecided to let her hold the rosy and that snake was the calmest of any of my snakes.Nothing bothered it.I have to get another 1 they are too cool.Anyone selling any(Lol)
