    Do Hogg Is. Boas become more pink?

    Just as the title says, as Hogg Islands grow up from a hatchling, do you think they become more pink? I was looking at one at the pet store and it was very very pink, and the owner said that it had grown more pink over time.

    Thanks.

    All the adults I've seen are pink-ish and some orange. I have seem some that have some kind blue hue in them, But it doesn't seem like anyone line breeds for that blui-sh color...

    They start off pretty dull when they are born and then get more pink/orange as they get older, but some lines will dull when they get around two years.

    I'd just go with a breeder like Rio Bravo, you are pretty much assured of bright, beautiful and colorful babies.

    Well, I'm not familiar with Rio Bravo, probably because I am in Canada? In any case, I have already purchased one from a local show, but I saw one at a pet store that was older than mine and quite pink. The store owner said that it has become more pink as it has aged and I was just hoping to verify that.
    Thanks for the responses.

    Anyone have any sweet pictures of HIBs?
