hog island boas
Im about 99 percent sure that my next snake buddy will be a hog island boa ive done some research and found that they grow to about 6 feet, are nocturnal, are generally docile with proper handling, can live 20 plus years, should be kept at around 85 hot side and 77 cool side(please correct me if im wrong). i also found out that they can change colors at night which i find simply amazng. so i guess what im getting at is if anyone has one or has had one would you fill me in on some facts and care tips and maybe some pics if you dont mind? any feedback is much appreciated!

Hogs are an awesome choice and a good first boa! They don't get too big (males tend to stay around 4-4.5 ft) and they are awesome feeders! I keep mine at about 80 on the cool and a hot spot around 88 or so. Good temperment comes with handling when they are young and they are very inquisitive snakes. Mine changes colors all the time and yes, it is pretty amazing! Find a good breeder that sells PURE Hog Island Boas. Here are a couple pics. Good luck!!

Very Nice. Like Jamie said, Keep the temps about 88-90 hot side and around 78-80 cool side. 50-60% humidity is usually fine. Good luck and keep us updated oon what you do

Too many boas to list and a few balls as well

My Hog was $150, and it's a pure specimen!

Re: hog island boas
The only ones I have seen lately for $150 have been ones that are mainland that are advertised as pure hogs.
If you got a pure one, you lucked out.
The one I posted the pics of is a Sears line hog.
