I'm looking for a good upto date Hog caresheet. Also In the many sites I have looked over I came across something on one that kinda made me give the a second thought. They mentioned that they have big teeth. They didnt elaborate, so how big are they? Anyone ever been bit? Was it fun:)?

From what ive seen and heard hog island boas are kept the same as say a columbian boa or any other BCI. I also keep mine the same as my columbians. And from what ive seen with mine, it does not have bigger teeth than any of my columbians, but is a bit more pissy than my columbians have been. But i have still never been bit by any of my snakes and dont really want too....LOL.

I keep all my boas (BCI's) at about a 92 hot spot with the ambient air temp at about 82, which of course drops a bit at night to about 78. I also have a constant humidity in my house at in between 50-60% but when they go into shed i give them a little spray with warm water every couple days and have never had any problems whatsoever with any of them.

IMO Hogs are wonderful little snakes and i think anyone that likes boas should have at least one... :)

a hog island bite is just as bad is a guyana or a colombian i have been bite by all 3 gotta love it. as for teeth they all feel the same to me i have noticed that they bite quick and they don't constrict your arm ect.
