Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I'm heading to San Diego for vacation starting on Wednesday, and I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions for some good places to look for rosy boas...I've kept them for years but I've never had the opportunity to find them in the wild. If anybody has any suggestions (or any good general herping spots) I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.

try the creosote flat areas in the desert east of san diego, about 12 noon to 3 p.m. when the temps are highest, its the best time to road cruise them and good luck!!

Wow. A simple private message would do to tell this guy not to request for info to be posted on a public forum. No need to send him on a wild goose chase into the middle of the desert.

Try www.localityrosys.com . The locality section on that site has a few SoCal locales. Nobody's really going to give up any boa sweet spots on a publc forum.

I don't know any specific localities, but I do know that at this time of year they are mostly nocturnal. Find a rocky canyon or hillside and walk it at night or roadhunt quiet roads through such areas. If you are roadhunting, make sure you pay attention to the shoulders of the road. Some say rosyboas are reluctant to cross roads and you find more on the shoulders.

Make sure you buy a fishing license first if you intend to keep it.
