Rosy Classification!

[Colonel SB]

I'm looking for a good web rescourse on the classification of Rosy Boas? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Try both www.rosyboas.com or www.rosyboa.com are both really good sites.

Cheers

Plus please be aware that there is NO current concensus on Rosy taxonomic Classification. You're best to refer to them by locale, or by the basic geographic ranges were they are found...
Coastals, High Deserts,Low Deserts, Arizonas, Mid Bajas ,South Bajas or Mexican mainlands
Not only are subspecies a mess and in taxonomic limbo, but now some academics don't even want them called Lichanura, but are grouping them with Charina (rubber boas)

I know what you mean Roy...Is there a good reasorce to help me identify the different locals then?

try Jason Van Kirk's Rosy's, Rack Systems, and More

There is no place on the web where you can see all current locales, unfortunately.. There has been talk of this but it hasn't happened yet to my knowledge, plus there are dozens of recognized locales now. In addition to the sites already mentioned, you can look at Ric Blairs site on KS. It will be great if he ever finishes it, but there are quite a few pics loaded now.
Troy Hibbitts black belt reptiles has quite a few pics of Arizona locales as well as a couple low deserts from the litte San Bernardinos

<a href="http://www.rosyboa.com/rosyboas.htm">Randy Wright</a> has quite a few pictures as well. Pretty well just have to look through as many sites as you can, compare, see whats happening. Even specific localities are variable within themselves.
