Rosy Boa?

[damzookeeper]

hey can anyone point me to some accurate, updated care sheets for Rosy's? There are lots out there but I want to make sure I'm getting the best ones. Wanna do a little research.
Also would it be possible to house one in a blanket or sweater box in a leo rack system Or would that be too risky with the leos? The temps are the same on the cool and warm end so I was just curious. I read that a sweater box is an accurate size, this wouldn't be too small? Or what about a 20 gallon with a wire locking lid with the doors on them. Can they escape those grill like covers or would that be fine?
Any advice or comments welcome.

Rosies actually thrive in tanks due to their arid environment, unlike most other boids. If you choose to house your rosy in a sweaterbox, make sure you have a lot of holes for ventilation... these guys need to be dry! <a href="http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20695">This thread</a> should answer a lot of your questions, as well as <a href="http://vpi.com/8VPICareSheets/Sandboas/RosyBoa/RosyBoaDesc.htm">this caresheet</a>. The one listed from rosyboa.com in the thread is relatively good, however ignore the remarks of heat rocks. It is a little outdated I was working ona caresheet for Rosies or this site, however I lsot everything on my computer a while back so I will be starting over. Hopefully have it up soon enough though

THanks Linds, now if only I can get hubby to allow a snake in the house. lol, he is terrified of them, even the smallest. But that will be part of my arguement. They are small, slow moving and probably bite just as much as my beardies, which is rare to never.

See if you can find one at a store and bring him with you. Even people that are terrified of snakes seem to be ok with rosies for some reason...
