Great shots, David! I've always loved the hoggies, too. Is that an example of an axanthic specimen by chance? He seems a little B&W to be the norm for a western.

I don't think he is axanthic......he has a good amount of light green on him, but the pics don't really capture his more subtle coloring very well. Plus his tail is a fairly bright yellow.

I'd have to agree with Lowell. Seems a tad axanthic to me. Not that it actually is or anything but it's a cool specimen nonetheless. A definite gem! Love that tail shot too! lol!

Hmmm......I still don't see it, lol. He has alot of brown & green on him, which most axanthics don't have....the pics wash out his real colors a bit so he looks a tad different than he does in person. Add that to his bright orange & black belly.

Well I guess the orange on the belly wouldn't class it as a axanthic then. Still a pretty pretty specimen though!

A also find he looks like an axanthic on your first few pictures! On the other side, from that last picture I don't think he is an axanthic, but he really looks great!
