First up, San Felipe Rosy boas.
These are a Central Baja locale (locales include: El Rosario, San Matias, Bahia de L.A., etc.). They occur in the desert lowlands near the town of San Felipe on the Sea of Cortez. San Felipes are known to have the brightest orange stripes, on a light cream coloured background.
I have 1.2 unrelated San Felipes and I should have babies this fall from the '01 female. The younger female is a '03 and will be ready next year. They have been brumated and have resumed their regular feeding schedule.

Next up, Kofa Mountains Rosy boas.
These are an Arizona locality of Rosy boa. As adults, they are attractively marked with irregular burgundy stripes on a straw coloured background.
I have 1.1 unrelated Kofa Mountains Rosy boas. These are both '04's.

Finally, San Gabriel Mountains Rosy boas.
These are a California Coastal locale. They are from the Crystal Lake and Mt. Baldy areas of Los Angeles County. They have bright orange irregular stripes and speckling on a tan background.
I have 1.1 unrelated San Gabriel Mountains Rosy boas. These are both '04's.

While doing some cage maintenance, I was able to take some better photos of the San Felipe Rosy boas.
Here they are again.
