I am in Orange County California. I have had good luck in Orange, Riverside, and San Diego counties. I usually try new spots every time I go out to keep me learning. I do have some local haunts that I like to go since they are close and I know them pretty well. I started out going anywhere I could, any open field, mountain range, or hills that I would see. Then I started having some descent outings once I started to figure things out and started learning when and how to find target species.
@mosy98 I do not give out any areas over a public forum and in person only if I have been out in the field with someone that I trust. Most ALL spots I have been to I have been as succesful, it is a learning process. Check out the forums/links I talked about and learn from others. Go to group events/outings to get to know other herpers so you can gain experience in the field. I HAVE been able to find snakes almost anywhere.
@mosy98 I head out to from the high deserts of San Bernardino to the San Diego Border areas and everywhere in between. Learn your target species and check out sites like Field Herp Forum and California Herps for info and learning.
Wonderful finds! But enlighten me, i know nothing about rosy and rubber boas, i know they can be found in the here in the U.S but are these actual boids? because they don't necessarily look like them.
Yes they are from the Boid family. They are small with Rosy Boas not gettin much bigger than 44 Inches (Except in kind of rare situations). If you look at them closely they do have the sme look charateristics of many other Boids. Sand Boas, Etc
@edgirallenjoe29 i agree about the rubber boa but the rosys have the python and boa head and shape and they are boas because of the kill method and reproduction
@RmanSE09 Well Python Species lay eggs and Boa species give live birth, that is the major difference between them. Rosy Boas do have the spots on their face to sense heat just as other boa species do. Both are constrictors but that is not the major differences. Rubber Boas do look a lot like Rosy Boas and they split from each other about 10,000 years ago. Rubber Boas are just quite a bit smaller than Rosy Boas.
Those are some great looking reptiles. Good to see that your still showing the importance of putting back the cover that you flip. Here in southern Indiana, it won't be long before snakes are out and about.
thanks for stressing how important it is to replace cover properly! i hit this one boulder field all the time, and i went there at the end of last year and every boulder was left upturned!...pissed me off to no end!
i filmed it, but it was pretty much just a bunch of F bombs on the audio....
Wish we had boas were I live, but Alabama has its cool species to though. Good finds.

Yes the unicolor rosys do have somewhat the same look to them. As neonates they have the typical stripes but lose it as they get older.
