Ajo Rosy Boa
Ajo Rosy Boa – Desert Gold from Arizona’s Southern Sonoran Range
The Ajo Rosy Boa originates from the rugged desert terrain surrounding Ajo, Arizona, near the heart of the Sonoran Desert. This pure Lichanura trivirgata gracia population is part of the distinct southern Arizona group that includes Maricopa and Organ Pipe, all known for their bold contrast and unmistakable “Sonoran look.”
Ajo Rosy Boas display a golden-yellow to sandy base color accented by jet-black striping that can vary in thickness and intensity. Compared to nearby localities, Ajo boas often show slightly deeper yellows and more balanced contrast, producing one of the cleanest and most visually striking appearances within the Arizona desert forms.
Ajo is also notable as the origin of the recently discovered Lavender Ajo mutation—a naturally occurring genetic variation that has quickly gained attention for its soft lavender and silver tones. This discovery underscores the genetic diversity and ongoing fascination surrounding the Ajo population.
These snakes are calm, hardy, and excellent feeders. Their sharp contrast, desert-gold coloration, and role in producing one of the newest rosy boa mutations make the Ajo Rosy Boa both historically significant and visually exceptional.

Species: Lichanura trivirgata gracia (Arizona Rosy Boa)
