thoughts or experiences with hog island boas

[TheWinWizard]

I have two, three and a half year old Pure Hogs from Paul Mitchell Jr. The female is 4.5 foot and the male is 3.5 foot. They are full grown. Never seen a 7 foot pure male before, maybe a hypo.

He is about 6'9 -6'10 and yes he is Full Hog . No hypo in him. I can assure you that and so would Paul.
and im not getting mad it is just frustrating when I write who was the breeder and what I have and still you have people that will write things like. Maybe its a hypo or Ive never seen this and I never seen that. You havnt seen it thats fine come to Philadelphia ill give you my address and ill show you. Im not on here trying to start an argument.

No arguments here. You should know what you have. Shed skins are longer then the snake actually is, so measure the snake rather then the skin. The sheds stretch.

I don't have any experience with the species to speak from, but I have been looking into them for a year now, and I prefer the ones with bright colors and a decent amount of speckling. More speckles are closer to the wild-type, which when keeping locales would be important to me.

Just thought I'd throw my 2c in here. I have always heard that Hogs "generally" stay smaller but all my adult PURE Hog Island females are over 7 foot easily.

That said, Hogs are still great snakes.

I think the key word there is females

Not sure I understand. I have a male Hog Island that is the same size as my breeder Argentine BCO male. In fact I have a gravid Hog Island female that is probably over 7ft right here-



Just trying to push the differences between the keywords "generally" and "always" is all.

there's always going to be exceptions to the general rule.
