She's really awesome. VERY chill so far, but very alert and curious too. And like the BCC I had when I was younger, a very strong feeding response. It's really interesting to read opinions about Hog Islands. Some seem to indicate a very docile nature, others an aggressive nature. I've personally encountered 5 Hogs thus far, and every one has been tame and good natured, even the breeder snakes that haven't been socialized. I suppose it just depends on the individual animal.

Thanks everyone for all the nice compliments. As I may have mentioned, gotta thank my boy for loving snakes enough to really want one, and helping me to realize just how much I missed them. The wife and kids even framed the middle pic above and gave it to me for Christmas! :D It'll look perfect on my work desk, along with all the pics of the rest of my family!

@Norm66 - Although I had decided on the Hog Island based on all my personal criteria for a boa, I too was very fortunate. Finding the right breeder, right snake, and right price, all within a two hour drive from my home was pure luck. Here's to good fortune! :p
