someone sold him to me as a hypo pastel but i swore he darkened substantially tonight...

He does look like a hypo pastel and boas do change colors much like geckos and bearded dragons. They have a light phase and a dark phase and it can happen very quickly. Some locales can change color quite drastically. My BCC Suriname can go from being almost charcoal to very light with tons of pink in a matter of minutes.

can you explain no such thing as a hogg island?

I'm not sure what they are worth. As for my sig, it's the spelling that so many people get wrong. If you google hogg island boa it will correct you.. Its Hog. Like a pig.

Same with columbian.. That word only exists as colleges and companies.. Basically it's a made up word. The country is Colombia. Therefore, the boas that originated from there are spelled the same way.

Hog Island got it's name from the pigs that pirates released on the island before they would raid the Spanish forts in Central America. That way, the pigs wouldn't get killed in the raids, and the pirates had a food source when they would hide out after the raids. The Spanish name for the island is "Cayos los Cochinos"...

Really. That's odd because it corrected me when I tried it and said: do you mean...

Must be so many people spelling it wrong that it's cached.
