"Arizona Chocolate"? Is that what is pictured in the first photo?
I believe that would be a Mexican Rosy--Lichanura trivirgata trivirgata. It's not a morph or a color phase, it's a species. And if that is what you have shown in the first picture, it's color will remain that way throughout it's life.
This is a triv triv from Maricop County, AZ.

It's an Arizona locale, Harquahala.
Harquahala Mountains
Lichanura trivirgata gracia Found on dirt road that goes to the 1920's Smithsonian Observatory on the peak of the mountain range. Very variable in stripe color and pattern. Clean - irregular orange - root beer stripes on a tan background. These are known as the "AZ Chocolate."

I got them from Shawn Silva.
They are a really pretty chocolate on cream. Love them!

Looks like a Whitewater gracia, but rosy boas are fairly difficult to ID visually. Scale counts are important for proper ID where more than one ssp. are found in the same location...

I'm so excited because just yesterday I was thinking that I wanted to start a Rosy thread. Mine is being a pain in the butt to feed right now, and I need some good Rosy vibes.
Here is Ambrose (please excuse the cat hair):
Do you guys ever have problems with your squishies going off food in the late winter/spring? He's been a sporadic feeder since I got him, but it's just getting harder and harder to interest him in food. At the same time he is increasingly more active in his viv. I'm hoping he's just looking for a girlfriend, but his last meal was in mid-March so I'm starting to worry

Very awesome! If Pet Supermarket's supplier would finally call them back, I should be getting a rosy or two in the next month or so. They're so gorgeous.

I was trying to get him on a once a week schedule, but that has not been working. I try offering him food once or twice a week, and he was taking it on average every two weeks or so, but it has now been close to a month since he last ate.

He actually went blue and shed in mid-February, and of course he went off food for a couple of weeks before that (then ate ravenously once he'd completed the shed). Since he is about five years old, I'm assuming he isn't due for another shed anytime soon.
