Mexican Rosy Boa (Charina
[Lichanura] trivirgata trivirgata)
 |
Beautiful snakes with wide brownish black and light
golden-tan stripes. Very clean
striping for a high contrast look. These are perhaps our favorite
rosy, they really stand out. Like all Rosy Boas, they are gentle,
easy to handle, feed readily, and make
great pets for beginning snake keepers. Most females mature at just over
two feet, with males slightly smaller.

Anza Borrego Rosy Boa (Charina

 |
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
Anza Borrego Rosy Boa (Charina
[Lichanura] trivirgata myriolepis)
 |
Adding hypomelanism to
snakes from Anza Borrego creates a very brightly marked
snake. The
palest specimens are very light in color with thin bright orange jagged
stripes, almost appearing albino, while others may grow to appear almost
normal. These appeared as a surprise in a litter parented by two normal
specimens. We do not know if they are compatible with other lines
present in US collections.

'Limburg' Rosy Boa (Charina
[Lichanura] trivirgata myriolepis)

Breeder Randy Limburg
acquired a unique albino specimen originating from the vicinity of Vail
Lake in the southern Temecula Valley, Riverside County, California. This
specimen was bred to specimens hailing from nearby Winchester to create
what are now known as the 'Limburg Strain Coastal Rosy Boas'. Boas from
this area are among the largest of any Rosy Boa population, sometimes attaining
four feet
in length! |

Black Mountain Rosy Boa (Charina

A rather unique looking
locality from the road leading to the top of Black Mountain in Imperial County,
California. Still rather uncommon
in captive collections, they are one of our favorites. Adults are clad
in fairly straight stripes of burnt orange on a tannish gray background.
In juveniles, they appear darker on the sides than the top and are one of our
favorites. |
