My New/First Boa!

Went to the second day of the MARS show today and picked up this little male, pure Hogg.

Nice Boa, I went to the Mars show with the intentions on getting a Ball Python or a Red Tail and I end up with 2 balls and 2 corns. That 7-12 feet thing kind of discouraged me from getting one. Good luck with yours tho

Nice pickup, weird waterbowl.

Looks like he's friendly, what did you decide to name him?

Hog Island boas don't get 7-12ft. They tend to be on the smaller side 4.5 - 6 feet. This is why after researching boas i settled on this species

Thanks..yea he hasn't shown any aggression. I havnt found a name yet I struggle with naming my reptiles

Name him: Storm.

Some other good names:
Aries
Zeus
Hades
Nef
Godric

I picked a funny local name for my colombian boa, his name is Pablo. Not sure what to name a hogg Island boa though as I haven't named myown hogg island cross

Cute little guy. I really liked the two adult hogg island boas the one breeder had out on display. They were so beautiful!
