Meet Hammy, '06 Hog island boa (DU death!)

[jason221]

He was one out of two baby Hog island boas available at the expo I went to today (I really was lucky!), and was priced at $150. I'm going to give him a week then offer him a hopper. Unfortunately, the 32 qt. was a little big for him, but I made due with adding crumpled newspaper instead of getting another tub. Here's a bunch of pictures!



























I like how Hog islands kind of look like hypos (tail excepted, of course).

Four to seven feet, full grown, though since he's a male, probably about four feet or so.

Very nice, I love it. Hogg Island Boas are naturally Hypomelanastic(sp?) which explains why he "looks" hypo. lol
I love his color and cute little beady eyes.
Congrats on the great find!

He's beautiful, congratulations on him! I'm going to move this to the boa forum so all the boa lovers won't miss it and can admire him too!
