    Nice Boa, I went to the Mars show with the intentions on getting a Ball Python or a Red Tail and I end up with 2 balls and 2 corns. That 7-12 feet thing kind of discouraged me from getting one. Good luck with yours tho

    Nice pickup, weird waterbowl.

    Looks like he's friendly, what did you decide to name him?

    Re: My New/First Boa!

    Hog Island boas don't get 7-12ft. They tend to be on the smaller side 4.5 - 6 feet. This is why after researching boas i settled on this species
