New Hog Island :)

I got my first boa on Sunday!!! Yea! Been wanting one for years!

He's barely a week old. So, he's just a wee one. He's starting to settle in and his colors are coming out more than in these shots. I'll post more after he feeds for me.

Thanks. Hope you can get one. They are great snakes.

An amazing little one you have there buddy. I would love to get a PB but think I will wait a couple months after I get my new two corns.

you got that one from SWReptile right? I got one last year from them and he's such a perfect little guy, I love him!

I did! I just had to post him in "boas" too cause I'm already so attached to him. He's got great personality!
Could you post a pic or yours? How much did he change color?

I think he looks pretty much the same since I got him. He was very light and pinkish when he was tiny and has maintained his coloring.

Thanks!

Congrats! It looks like a very pretty boa, both of you!

Although, I'll be honest. I am green when it comes to boas. Do they usually sell them so soon before they've eaten their first meal?

Very nice looking Boa, congrats

Nice Hog Islands ladies!

Connie, yours has grown up nicely! Super looking. I'll have to post up some pics of Rob once he is done with his shed.

I had no idea they were so brown when they were little.

I don't think Jim usually does. I've always seen them little bit older ones at his table. He may not have sold my little guy to someone who he didn't know? Not sure. Don't think it's a big deal though Hoggie is in good hands with me. :)

Please do. I love seeing hog pics.

Very beautiful Hog Islands. :)

They are by far my favorite Boas, I've been looking for a female for my little man. Problem is, I'm being picky. :P

My favorites too.

Just curious if you are thinking of getting an older one or a hatchling?

Me too!

He had his first meal with me! Yea!!! :banana: :gj:

(His first f/t too)

Aww, congratulations on the new bouncing baby boa! :D I saw one at the local herp shop today that caught my eye. I've wanted one for a while. It's the only boa I would like to have. Gotta put any more snake plans on hold for a while, though. :(

LOL, I just got a RTB from Jimi this week and went to a reptile show to get him some F/T, my wife had to pull me out before I left with a new Hog Island. My want list for snakes used to be just BPs now it is all Boas

Boas Rock!
