What is the largest Rosy's get to be? And what size tank is appropriate?

P.S. Does anyone know a place where you purchase Rosy's in Vancouver Canada?

The Rosy Boa at maturity is approximately 32"-38" for males and 34"-40" for females. Heavily nourished captive specimen of the California Coastal region have attained sizes of up to 50 inches in length. Males are identified by the presence of rudimentary legs or spurs on each side of the vent. The Rosy Boa can live up to 30 years in captivity, with a current living record at ~ 27 years. Record longevity will no doubt be redefined with the vast number of captive bred Rosy Boas in collections today.

If you can't find any rosies for sale have you ever thought of maybe a kenyan instaed. Pretty much the same husbandry as the rosies and similar size and temperment.

Here's a 44 inch female coastal rosy of mine. She's as thick as my wrist too.

Get a rubber boa. They are similar to rosys and you can find them around Vancouver.
