I have recently become snake obsessed. We've only had our ball python for a couple of weeks and I seem to spend every spare moment researching all kinds of snakes. Took my son to a Repticon(?) show last weekend and spent some time talking with a guy who was selling baby Hog Island Boas. They were so much fun to handle! They just don't have the same personality as Balls, do they? Curious what others would say comparing balls to boas... He was asking 75 dollars- Good price or too god to be true? How could one tell if they were truly getting a hog and not some red tail hybrid? No- I'm not buying another snake.....yet....just curious.
