The rosy boa enclosure, as with all snake enclosures, should be escape proof.
Like ball pythons and corn snakes, rosy boas come a a variety of colors. Other than coloration, they are all Lampropeltis getula californiae. You can purchase a baby kingsnake for about $50 give or take, and that $50 can buy you anything from an aberrant black and white corn snake to a baby albino kingsnake (in the upper $50 range). Adult snakes can be fed frozen thawed mice or even frozen thawed rat pups. Feed hatchling kingsnakes appropriately sized pinky mice (no wider than the girth of the snake) and as they grow, your feeders should grow with them (Pinkies, then fuzzies, hoppers, then small mice, and then adult mice, depending on how big the snake gets). No special lighting is required to keep this species. The water bowl should be large enough for the snake to soak in, and heavy enough so the snake doesn’t tip it over. An under tank heater optimized for your tank size is necessary to help the snake thermoregulate and aid in digestion.
You can house one in a 20-gallon enclosure with a screened top, a hide and suitable substrate. Kingsnakes don’t grow too large, averaging 3 to 4 feet in length. Kingsnakes don’t grow too large, averaging 3 to 4 feet in length.
