And more Hog Island pics ;)

This is my arm chair snake, she likes to surf with me and catch some morning rays. She is a 2010 Lemke line Hog Island , at 50 inches now. She is very sweet and shy , she likes to try to indimidate me when getting her out by trying to stare me down . She never hisses or strikes , and if I sit still she will also for hours.

What a beautiful girl! Have you had her since she was a hatchling or was she already older when you got her?
I just love Hogs, and looks like today was a good day for Hog pics, lol. Keep 'em comming :)

only about a month now , she was given up to a pet shop by one of the workers who wanted to breed corns instead and he got her as a baby so she was very tame and he was a good with her , she had only been there 5 days . I was able to get all the info from him about her line and the breeder luckily so once i find a good male I'll try to breed her next year or so.

Oh yeah, I remember reading the post about when you got her (I just didn't remember your screen name). What a great find! I wish you luck in finding a male to complement her, a bet she's make some nice babies :)

What's so cool about that shot is my girl actually looks VERY much like that in her dark phase. That purple/blue color between the saddles is amazing, and in many ways, I think I like her dark phase even better than the light! :) I'll try to shoot some decent pics of her dark phase and post them. Great shot!

yep you can see how people have selectivley bred for pinks and oranges in many lines . I have emailed the island research station there today to see if they will send me some more current photos .

Fantastic looking Hog! Your description of her sounds like you were describing my own Hog - great snakes :D

You are a lucky person. I prefer the dark phase because it seems to bring out some reds and oranges in the snake
