Coastal Rosys (Riverside locale)

I'm slacking, and my boas hate me for it... I've had these guys for months, and they haven't made their CS.com debute. Whoops.

I was very lucky to come across this pair at the right time. And old local gentleman that was looking for help with his Bearded Dragon, and someone gave him my name and number. He called me saying that he was having some health problems, but couldn't afford to take him to the vet at a whim. He asked me to take a look, and see if a vet visit was a must or if he could save a bit of money on home remedies.

The dragon turned out to be a perfect candidate for a vet trip (from what I could tell, he had either an RI or severe allergies), and will hopefully be recouperating soon. He started to show me a few of his other reptiles. These 2 were by far my favorite. He collected them on seperate herping trips in California. The male he found about 8 years ago as a youngster, and the female he found about 6 years ago as a small adult. They were absolute kittens! It was hard to put them down. So, as a way of saying thank you, he gave them to me :D

I've never had that deep of an interest in Rosys before, but these 2 just fascinate me!

Sedona - named after the red rock mountains Sedona, Az is so popular for

and Killian - named so because he matches the lable on a bottle of Killians ;)

Sorry for the cruddy pics. I didn't want to disturb them much, understandably.

Nice ones, Catherine!!! Congrats on getting them. Is Sedona that "freckly" or is that misted water on her?

I really like Killian's look.

Its your reward for being so great!
 
Catherine, what's the size difference between the male and female? And can you see spurs on the male?
 
Fred - She did indeed get a small shower. I mist them maybe once every 2 weeks. While they don't like it often, they seem to enjoy it every once in a while. Sedona is very freckly as far as pattern goes though. I'll get some better full body shots soon. Her pattern looks like graffiti!

Nanci - They've never been bred. Lester (the gentleman that gave them to me) never took an interest in breeding, just herping. I did put them together when they got here, but I did not want to disturb them, so I never visually confirmed the hookup. From Sedona's behavoirs recently though, I would say she is more than likely not gravid. Hey, there is always next year :)

The male is slightly larger than the female. He weighs in at 578g, and she weighs 491g. I can indeed visualize his spurs. As a matter of fact, while I was getting to know them it was the only way I knew to tell them apart! They look similar, yet they have their distinct differences. Killian is more blue, and Sedona has a wild pattern with very bold colors.

Thanks Robbie & Pasodama! I'm really falling in love with this species. Robbie, you and Elle have your candoia, and I have found love in my Lichanura :)
