Can I see your pure Hogs and other BCI/BCS that remain under 6ft?

I came very close to getting a pair, just couldn't swing adding the male to the transaction. Next year...

Exciting either way. Tarahumaras!

I agree - Vin Russo is the guy to see for any pure locality. And many of his lines will stay more true to the smaller size.

I here a lo about this guy! I just looked at his website and he has experience with tons of snakes. He may be the person i purchase one from. ALL of the BCIs look stunning!! How will I ever pick!? lol

This is my girl, she's a 2013 and growing like a weed. Love her, though. These are photos from off my phone so please excuse the quality.

BEAUTIFUL HOG! I just love the color on these snakes and that super red tail.

This snake is stunning. Normally I like the brighter color, but this is surely one i am consideringg.

Hey, don't over think the size part. A properly raised BCI male or female rarely breaks 8 feet. That is from the mouth of Vin Russo. I bought a male Colombian last year and was concerned about giant size. After having him for a year, I'm actually hoping he grows to more of the exception size and not the rule. What I mean by that is once you own a boa you will grow along with the snake and get used to it and the size. My snake is closing in on 2 years old and is 4 feet 7 inches long. I can still hold and control him in one hand. Remember body size/thickness is what makes snakes seem really big. An 8 foot female VS an 8 foot male would be noticeably different. You would be fine with any male BCI 90% of the time. Plus once you have the animal and see how fun and easy to handle they are you won't notice size. Just get a male. And all of the above advice is good. The island boas usually are smaller and certainly not as thick.

Excellent point.

You should hear a lot about him. Vin Russo is probably the foremost authority on Boa constrictor care and captive breeding in the country, if not the world. He wrote the "boa bible" - The Complete Boa Constrictor. If you don't have it, I highly recommend getting it. It is still available through Vin's website and if you purchase one, he'll sign it for you. The book is expensive, but WELL worth it. Anyone who's going to keep boas, whether it's only one or a hundred, should have this book.

Do you have to contact vin russo directly to see what's available. I visited his site after reading this tread, but I can't seen to get past the description page. Did I miss something?

You have to email him. He doesn't keep an "available" page because he sells his babies very fast and can't keep it accurately updated. He is very nice to talk with though. And he's always happy to help you find exactly what you want.
