Our Rosy Boas appear to be breeding well for us again this year. Watch for 2008 babies to be listed starting in August!


Rocky Mountain Reptile Expo
He's back! Our favorite internet reptile shopper is once again banging his head on the desk out of frustration. If you feel the same way and want to see a wide selection of captive-bred herps, meet with the breeders, or just buy without having to pay shipping costs, visit the Rocky Mountain reptile Expo. Open Saturday, May 10 from 10:00AM-5:00PM at the Denver merchandise Mart located just east of I-25 on the north side of 58th Street. Click here to visit the show website for a map or more info.

One of us will be there with a selection of our specimens for sale. As always, display space is limited and we will not be able to bring everything we have for sale on our website. Please let us know if there are specific specimens you'd like to see and we'll do our best. But the only way to be certain you'll get the specimen you desire is to pre-pay for the order in advance. Pre-paid orders will be held and delivered to the show at no extra charge.

        See you there!

Hypo & Het Hypo Anza Borrego Rosy Boa (Charina [Lichanura] trivirgata myriolepis)
Anza Borrego State Park in the Ysidro Mountains of California contains some remarkable Rosy Boas. Snakes within the park are protected, yet dedicated collectors have located a few just outside the borders. Showing characteristics of both coastal and desert forms, they are attractively marked with bright orange, burnt orange, or brown thin jagged stripes and speckles on very pale grays, silver to whitish background. Hypo specimens tend to be somewhat lighter, although as with all hypos this varies with each individual.
