Rosies are here 
My new rosies from foulfredy(if you saw them up for sale on the boa forum) came in wednesday. I have them on paper towel in 20 gal long tanks. they each have half logs to get underneath and branch things to climb on. I have shallow water dishes in there the female is shedding so her water dish is full and the male’s has very little water in it. they are at 86 degrees warm side and 70 - 75 cool side. Wed. night I had the male out and he struck me. I have since been handling him with leather gloves on. I plan on doing this until he’s more sociable. the previous owner did not do much training. I don’t plan on handling the female until she is out of shed but I was wondering, should I not handle her since I’m going to breed them? is it better to have a more wild female for breeding or does that make no difference?

Once you put them togeather to breed , you are going to want to leave them alone. Until then you should be fine. And what are the gloves for, there just rosy boas.

because I don’t enjoy being bitten and I didn’t think it’d take long to tame him of that, which it didn’t the male is now pretty docile I’ve had him out 4 times since the last feed and am going to feed them again tonight. I haven’t gotten the female out much because I was told that they breed better if they’re less handled. but I don’t know what sense that makes I’m going to get her out after this feed. I guess I’m going to cool them down in the winter but only as much as room temp. as I don’t have a way to cool it below room temp. then i’ll gradually warm them up into spring and cycle them in the males tank together. should I handle them while they are cooled?
