Just wanted to talk a lot about the Hog Island boas.

We have a nearly 5ft female and we just love her to death. She is really the perfect size for one person to handle, great personality and temperament, great feeder. All around she is a very easy snake to keep. Which makes me wonder why they are not more popular.

My understanding is that they are endangered/ unavailable to get from the wild and that is why we do not have any or many color phases of them.

Our care for her is a 40 gallon breeder with a screen lid, aspen shavings, UTH, a water bowl and some decorations. We have never had a problem with her refusing a meal or having a bad shed, all comes off in one piece.

I would love to find a male for her but I can never find one with her shades of salmon and teal. I may just have to bite the bullet and buy a hatchling male to see what he turns out like.


All her pictures should be able to be viewed here. Let me know if they do not show up.
