The Rosy Boa (Lichanura trivirgata) is one of only two members of the Boidae family native to the United States. Found in the southwestern United States in the states of California and Arizona, and northwestern Mexico in the states of Baja California and Sonora, in California, the Rosy Boa ranges throughout the Colorado and Mojave deserts and also occupies the coastal areas of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Diego counties. In Arizona, the Rosy Boa occupies the Mojave desert and the western areas of the Sonoran desert. In Sonora, the Rosy Boa ranges from the border with the United States south throughout the Sonoran Desert to at least as far south as Ortiz. In Baja California, the Rosy Boa ranges throughout the entire peninsula except in areas of extremely dry or rockless desert. Here you may post messages or questions pertaining to all aspects and issues regarding the keeping, breeding, health, and conservation of Rosy Boas.
