    Lucky catch, first boa!
    I got extremelly lucky today and was able to get a hog island boa. She is 2 years old and so sweet! I was the temporary keeper of a bci (no idea which kind) for a few weeks a few years ago and its so weird to have my own now! Especially has I have just begun getting snakes. I do not have any pictures yet (that dont have my face in it :P ), but she looks at lot like what she is supposed to look like xD

    She was kept in a big tub in a converted shelve unit to rack. It seems to be enough from what I read and for now I cannot get anything bigger for her but I do hope to instal branches or something she can climb? I'm lost to what she needs except the basic stuff and what the ex-owner said.

    The person that sold ger to me was quitting the herps and also had a bci sonoran but I was already at my top spending wise.... Still wish I got it too...

    Tomorrow I will have all the photos! Or at least try, she's a facehugger, as long as she does not start laying anything anywhere...

    Hard to take! She kept movong away, thankfully had a friend to try and keep her somewhat in place.

    any lineage info? Doesn't look like a hog isle to me. She's a cutie though!

    Thats what the owner said! Google seems to think it is somewhat the same, but I find boas hard to identify xP
    The lights make her more orange then she really is.
