    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 :D.

    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.

    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!

    Hoggies rule! My girl is one of my favorite boas. That snake is one I will NEVER trade. Congratulations on joining the club, and enjoy!

    OH- And as a rule, you must post pictures. Lots of them.
