Mexican Rosy Boa
| Place of Origin and Range | Native species to northern Mexico and the adjacent portions of extreme south western Arizona. |
| Description | A stocky snake with a small head and a heavy slender tail. Three wide stripes of chocolate brown to black are found on yellow, buff, beige, or light brown background. |
| Morph Patterns Available | Yes |
| Adult Size | Can grow 2-3 feet (0.6- 0.9m) |
| Accommodation | Arid Rocky habitat. To avoid injuries anchor any rocks in the vivarium before you add the substrate. In this case sand. You will want to include a large dish for bathing and soaking in to improve shedding. Always include a day basking spot at 80'F(27'C). Along with multiple hides. Minimum 2 x 2 x 4 feet for an adult. |
| Lifespan | Can live 15+ years |
| Feeding / Diet | Like most snakes the Mexican rosy boa can eat mice, rats, and some newborns prefer lizards; depending on the size of your snake and the availability of feed. |
| Breeding | Viviparous they breed readily November through April in the United States delivering live birth averaging 10-20 babies born spring through late summer. The young at birth typically are 20–25 cm (8-10 inches) in length. |
| Other Considerations | Captive bred only available. Wild specimens are protected from commercialization. Snakes are relatively hardy low maintenance animals when kept in the correct environment, and require little day to day care other than feeding and cleaning out the tank as required. However, like all animals, they can still become sick or injured despite our best intentions to prevent this. |
