    Re: columbian/hog island boa

    He will definitely be just as nice! If you handle him like you handle your BPs he will be an absolute sweetheart... albeight a curious sweetheart! I've found that boas tend to be pretty nosey... they will try to check out anything and everything they can get to.

    When I say he doesn't seem to have a whole lot of hoggie in him, I mean that his coloring is tending more towards a normal Columbian, that he looks a lot like a normal Columbian baby in general. Hoggies typically have orange tails, Columbians have redder tails. But, like I said, he does have that nice orange tinge to him... and that's Hogg!

    I'm not understanding where you see the big difference in him and a normal Columbian? He's going to end up looking a lot like your typical BCI...

    Also, you can find some very nice pastel boas online for pretty cheap... right around that $100-150 mark. JnJ actually has a very nice looking girl up right now that I'm thinking about grabbing.

    Re: columbian/hog island boa

    I thought you meant he had alot of hogg in him, not the other way lol. I thought his head looked smaller but it could just be that hes a baby. The hypo they had at the shop was 250+ but then again it was much larger too.


    thanks for the input you should go snag that JnJ one

    and im gonna run right over to that website and check it out!
