Pair of Carrizo Rd. rosys

I have this friend out in CA who has a commercial propagation permit for rosys, so he can catch and breed wild rosys and sell the offspring.
He and I have an agreement where I maintain his website, and he hooks me up with a couple pairs of snakes a year.

He just gave me (I'm going to pick them up in a month) a pair of F-1 Carrizo Rd rosys.
This pair was produced directly from his wild caughts, completely legal and legit).

Carrizo Rd rosys have jagged orange stripes on a pretty blue gray background. One of the coolest localities of that region, IMO.

I'll get some pictures of them up when I get em. Meanwhile, this is what they look like.


Also, he has 2.1 Trona rosys, so he offered me a male if I end up finding a female (which I will). Very nice guy.

Lake Chapala male

I just got this adult male Lake Chapala rosy. He's breedable size but will probably still grow a bit.

There are a few places called "Lake Chapala", but these guys come from the rocky outcroppings next to the Chapala dry lake bed in Baja Mexico, on Hwy 1 north of Bahia de Los Angeles, and about 60 km south of Catavina.

You don't see Lake Chapalas very often, or as vmsherp says it "Very uncommon in captive collections". If fact, besides the original image from Jerry, no other pictures of Lake Chapalas have been submitted for the multiple pictures project that I'm putting together.


I haven't had him long, but he's already one of my favorites. He has a little bit of a blue tint to his base color when he's in better lighting.

Newest acquisition

Well, its not a rosy boa, but who wouldn't want the perfect California mountain kingsnake.
I picked up this female F-1 Lampropeltis zonata parvirubra from Ric Blair (no relation to Lancaster Rick Blair).
It has the nicest colors and cleanest pattern of any parvirubra you'll see. I don't think it has a single complete black cross over.





She was produced from wild caught parents from the San Jacinto mountain area in riverside county.
