My roommate had a rosy for a few years, which I ended up taking care of. They're amazing snakes for beginers, Although I would say they are not as active as some of the others snakes I've had, at least ours wasn't. From my understanding they're crevis dwellers, so they like to be able to feel both the top and bottom of the hide. I avoid sand for any snake because it can get into their nose and mouth, and if ingested can cause a block in the snake. My personal feelings on snakes is to hold them often enough so you both are comfortable, but not so much that it stresses the snake. This will be different for your snake but you'll learn as you both grow together.

Welcome, to the forums! The information available is vast and opinionated(SP), and that's the best! I hope that you enjoy your snake expierance and share it with us!
