Well, 14 feet is a bit of a stretch for an adult female BCI.

As for ball pythons being the same size as Hogg Islands, I've seen Hogg Island boas that were a bit larger than any ball python I've ever seen. On average, I think adult Hoggs are bigger than adult ball pythons.

As for larger food requirements, I meant since Hoggs get bigger than ball pythons they will eventually require larger prey.

No hard feelings were intended.
Yes 14' is at the far end of the scale, but a nice old female "BCI", taken very good care of, can hit 14 feet. Hogg Island boas (true and not mixed) are on average between 3-5 feet long. Hoggs are BCI.
Ball Pythons are about the same and average 3-5 feet in length. Yes a Hogg can eat larger food but they don't need to. They can eat the same food due to their very relative size.

Jumping in- so, size wise, are blood pythons, balls and hoggs about the same length on average if not weight?

Bloods are CHUNKY and I would not categorize them the same as balls or hog islands. I don't want to be 'that guy' but Hogg is incorrect spelling.

I just added a hog to my collection, as well as pearl islands. I can't really share my thoughts because I have not owned them long enough but I'm enjoying them so far.
