Rosy Boa The Rosy Boa or Lichanura trivirgata is also one of snake from the Boidae family, one of only two members of that family native to the United States. The other is the Rubber Boa or C. bottae.
Rosy Boas are native to the American Southwest, and Baja and Sonora Mexico. Rosy Boa snake small attractive snakes attain a length of 39 in /1 m (though some specimens from the coast of California reach 4 feet) and a large adult of this snake has a body width about the diameter of a golf ball. The coloration in Rosy Boa snakes is highly variable. The common name is derived from the rosy or salmon coloration that is common on the belly of Rosy Boas originating from coastal southern California and Baja Mexico.
Most Boas do not have this ventral coloration but instead have a series of dark to orange spots on a light-colored background.
Almost all Rosy Boas have at least some trace of three longitudinal stripes, one down the center of the back, and two on the lower sides. The appearance of these stripes varies widely from extremely straight and having high contrast with the interspaces to extremely broken with almost no contrast with the interspaces. Stripe colors can be orange, maroon, rust, brown, or black. The interspaces range from shades of light to dark gray, yellow, or tan.
