Notes

Rosy Boa in our backyard. We watched as it moved slowly along the pavers and then moved along the edge of the house. First time I have seen one of them in our area, though they are somewhat common according to a quick internet search. Our house is abutted to a natural area, so we see quite a few rattlesnakes and gopher snakes and a huge black colored snake I have a picture of, though would be hard-pressed to remember details. Now that I found this site, I will update as we find more of these cool creatures.

Wish I had rosy boas in my backyard. Nice find. If you want to update your record to show the correct scientific name, it's Lichanura trivirgata roseofusca.
