San Gabriel Mountains Rosy Boa
San Gabriel Mountains Rosy Boa – Coastal Reds from California’s Mountain Slopes
The San Gabriel Mountains Rosy Boa comes from the rocky foothills and canyons of the San Gabriel Range in Southern California. This pure Lichanura trivirgata roseofusca population is strikingly different from most inland forms, displaying a silver to blue-gray base color accented by vivid brick-red striping arranged in a classic coastal pattern—a rare combination for a mountain locality.
These boas stand out for their intense color contrast and clean, defined striping that runs sharply down the body. The red tones often intensify with age, developing into rich brick or rust hues that glow against the cool, metallic base. This unique pairing of coastal pattern and vibrant red pigmentation makes the San Gabriel Mountains Rosy Boa one of the most distinctive localities within the species.
Calm, hardy, and dependable feeders, these boas thrive in captivity and are prized by collectors who appreciate true Southern California genetics with exceptional color and contrast.
