The tradeoffs, honestly
A 25-to-30-year commitment, and rosy boas are escape artists that may fast through winter. Damp bedding or high humidity can cause skin and breathing problems.
Common questions
Should it be captive-born?
Yes. Buy captive-born with a birth record naming the parents and their locality, so the line and its history are clear.
Are there permit rules for rosy boas?
Rosy boas are CITES Appendix II, like all boas, so international moves need permits. They are also California natives: selling captive-bred offspring in California needs a native reptile captive propagation permit (a placeholder rule that counsel is still confirming).
What health records should come with it?
Ask for a negative IBD PCR, a clear fecal and a feeding log on frozen-thawed mice. Rosy boas give live birth, so a birth record with the parents and locality confirms captive breeding.
What health tests should an Anza-Borrego rosy boa have?
Ask for Fecal exam clear, IBD / arenavirus PCR negative, Exotics vet exam on file, Genetics report for het claims, Hatch or birth record on file and Photo ID on file.
