I see you keep mentioning larger snake. In comparison to a BP yes, Hogs are larger but they are still not that large. They don't get nearly as long as RTBs and not even close to as girthy. Think of the thickness of a 20oz soda bottle for a male, females can get a bit thicker. I would definitely recommend one as the next step for someone who wants a Boa and a larger snake than your average BP.
