8 snakes $300 not a bad start into the rosies imo.

[marvelfreak]

Beautiful Rosies! Congrats. I am assuming 4.4?

[Shmoges]

yeah I should probably put in the morphs eh?

In descending order they are:
Ortiz
HypoAnzaBorrego
DesertRosyPioneerTown
AnzaBorrego

We are so excited for them to arrive :D

[mld]

Nice Rosy boas! Some many to choose from:)

[Shmoges]

I am excited to mabye get people interested in them in the COS area mabye or when we decide to breed them we can trade for kenyans or more rosies!!! I am pretty excited to see how small these guys are. In the pics they don't look small at all.

[Shmoges]

We finally got them in the mail. Check we sent got lost in the mail and what should have taken a week took a month but it gave us time to get the rack for them and we also got 2 bonus snakes for being so patient!!!

All eight in there individual homes. They were pretty cold and went straight to the back to warm up.

And here are the bonus snakes: San Diego Black Swamp Gopher Snakes!! I am actually intimidated by these animals they hiss like nothing I have ever seen in person and shake there tail very loudly. They are obviously stressed and wont be messed with till feeding day.

Congrats on your big box of goodies!! Its exciting just to get onelet alone 10 of em lol

[Shmoges]

Yeah its a lot of extra mouths + two I wasn't planning on lol.

[Jendee]

luckily they are little mouths lol

[sickvenom]

that first gopher has great color.

[stephanbakir]

Fantastic looking snakes, Is it just me or does that first gopher have a garters face?

[Skye L.]

Was wondering where you got your rosy boas. I've been looking but am having trouble finding one.

[Shmoges]

From a guy who was downsizing his collection in Michigan.

Great resources I have found for them are faunaclassifieds.com and kingsnake.com classifieds. Seems like everyone wants an arm and a leg for them but you can find deals if you look hard enough.


A bit late but I realized the San Diego gophers were bred by black swamp reptiles, it wasn't there locality or anything lol.

[Skye L.]

Thanks for the resources.

[Pareeeee]

all pics are deleted :/

[Gungirl]

all pics are deleted :/

He must have reorganized his photobucket account...

[millertime89]

He must have reorganized his photobucket account...

or just deleted some of them, because some are still there.

[Shmoges]

Yeah sorry I put everything into folders, very sorry. I will repost..............
BTW just made a rodentpro investment and will be switching the rosys to rat pinks instead of multi mouse fuzzies, they are more hair than meat anyways.

Yeah she is the biggest at I think 225g and the male Ortiz is the smallest at like 114g but he just ate a live rat pink so that has to be his biggest meal!

After taking care of these things for awhile now I have come to the conclusion that I don't like the Ortiz as much as the others. They seem more skittish and reluctant to eat, I'd like to trade them for Hemet or Harquahla (sp) localities but my wife wants to move our hognoses into there tubs so we can have one rack with desert species and put the other rack in the humid room for future babies.

[millertime89]

never been a huge fan or Rosey's, but yours look great.

[Pareeeee]

Thanks! I just can't seem to get enough rosy pictures since I got mine. :D

[Shmoges]

never been a huge fan or Rosey's, but yours look great.

I like them Sooo much more than Ball pythons. I have realized I seem to like most boas and colubrids better than pythons.
