Looking at getting a Hog Island Boa
Greetings all... I believe the heading says it all. Any pointers or suggestions. I have held the snake I am looking at several times and overall is quite curious and like to explore a bit. I do know I need to keep the tank more humid than my ball pythons.

More humid than a ball, why? Just keep it at 50-60% and yours good, just like the balls. They do like the temps to be a couple degree cooler than pythons though, that is for sure. I put the boas in the bottom of my rack so they stay cooler down there  .
As far as advice, mine is, GET IT NOW!!! I have a Hog and she is the most sweet curious beautiful girl, I do NOT regret the trades it took to get to her lol.

Re: Looking at getting a Hog Island Boa
I keep mine in the same rack as my balls, also on the bottom rack. I just mist his tub when he's in shed to bump humidity during that time. Be sure to post pics if you get it!
