This Rosy Boa lives under my walkway. It was way too cold for it to be out. The snake was hypothermic so I warmed it up under my shirt until the sun came back out.

The desert variety, Gracia looks very similar to the coastal variety, Roseofusca. This one's in the Mojave desert.

From the pictures it looks like a Roseofusca?
