Rosy boas are thick-bodied slow-moving snakes of deserts and rocky shrublands in southern California.
They are most often active at night, and in the evening.
Rosys are commonly found crossing roads at night or underneath rocks in late winter and spring.

Two subspecies occur in California. The coastal subspecies is sometimes almost unicolor, without stripes.
