Oh geez, Hoggies are one of my favourites! Nuno, they are both lovely, the one with the striped tail is particularly interesting.

Have fun with them.

[Sean_.E.]

Nice hoggs, that stiped tail is really neat! They are definately one of my favourites, Good luck with them!

[nuno]

Trevor, I like the speckling. Thanks again for the kind words!! :D

Awesome Hoggs you got there. I recently purchased a baby male "reduced pattern" Hogg. The one I picked out has hardly any speckling. Does anyone know what the difference is? The babies came from a "normal female" and a "patternless male".

[BoidKeeper]

All boas are speckeld to varying degrees. I find that on a hog it looks like barbequed salmon.lol Some people like very little some like them as is. I'm too picky for my own good so when I'm picking a boa I look for symetry in the sadles and low speckling.
Cheers,
Trevor

ah..i see...i wasnt sure if maybe it meant purer bloodlines or something. Either way...they are beautiful looking snakes. Do you know if the speckles come out later on as they get older? The baby I picked out has very little and has nice pinks n oranges...darn im getting impatient..i cant wait for it to arrive!!

[PoiSoNouS]

ohhhh wow ;)
those are Beauties !!!! CONGRATS !

Hey Nuno

Do you know where they originally came from and how old. The reason I ask is last year I produced a little male Hogg with a stripe almost identical to the one in your pic.

Here is the best pic I could dig up of him he was about 10 days old here.

It is hard to tell by comparing the pics because the saddles get obscurred by the orange and they develop more speckles as they age.

Anyhow very nice Hogg Island you have!!!

Compare the pic with him and dig up any info and let me know when you get a chance. I am always interested in where they end up. It would be neat if it actually is him.

Thanks

Dan

Dan, I'm going to guess that the hog is around the three year mark. I actualyy don't know where he originaly came from...sorry.
