They have smoother-feeling skin than other boas and I love the charcoal and pink coloration. Even his eyes are pink!! I will be getting a female from Vin in late spring or so too.

    And here are my 1.1 pair of baby BCL. You all are the first to see these! I don't have them in hand yet - they will be shipped once the weather warms up a bit here is snowy MI. The male is hypermelanistic het anery and the female is a hypermelanistic anery. They will be nearly solid black as adults. Hypermelanistic anery BCLs are often referred to as the locality-lover's IMG. :D

    I just received an e-mail from Chad Duggin and he told me that he no longer works with Hog Island boas because they were getting to hard to sell.

    I agree. Seeing the quality of his Hogs and all the praise that I've read from his customers, I was really looking forward to making a purchase from him. I hope that he's not getting out of the business on everything. This hobby needs all the good guys it can get.

    I don't think Chad will leave the hobby altogether. He's too well respected and has some other nice stuff. Too bad about the Hogs though.


    Guess you better shoot a message to Mike and get one of those BCLs......... :D

    I have been trying to figure out how I can move some things around to get the money every since you sent me that link. Right now it's looking like they'll probably be gone before I can work it out though.:tears: Oh well, there's another season just around the corner.

    Message Mike. I put a small deposit down on my pair and he's holding them for more appropriate shipping weather. As I said, he's great to work with. He will help you make it work if you REALLY want one.

    And there are still a few left. If you only want one, #2 (the first one pictured) is super nice - and a female.

    I REALLY do want one hopefully a pair if I can swing it. I will message him and see if we can work something out. Thanks Kali

    I got me 2 BCL females on hold :D:D:D. After I get them all I gotta do is find me a nice male to go with them. It's going to be a very long wait until weather is warm enough to ship. http://i932.photobucket.com/albums/a...psd4ed551e.jpg http://i932.photobucket.com/albums/a...psde313e4d.jpg

    WOOHOOO!! Look at you go! Those are very nice! Congrats on your choices! Best piece of advice I can offer at this point is, BE PATIENT while searching for the right male! I've looked at dozens of BCLs over the last year and didn't buy until I found these. BCLs are not all created equal and finding one with the right genetics and quality takes time. These girls are fantastic and you'll want to do right by them in finding a male of equal quality!

    I think you'll be really happy you went with the BCLs. Hogs are nice for sure, but there is something just really cool about a quality BCL.

    I can't wait to get mine too! April is a long way off.... :P
