When Hog Islands ruled...

[Ridge Runner_20]

... the world! Or at least the Boa Constrictor forum on sSNAKESs!!! :) Totally loving all the beautiful Hoggies posted on this site lately, so I figured Pebbles should join the party. :yes: Again, sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, as they truly don't do her justice. Anyway, Pebs is a 10 month old Hog Island produced by Howard Leong in Northern California. She's about 3' long, and a very sweet and healthy girl, eating one small rat every 14 days. Great snake, and an absolute joy to keep. :)

I was looking forward to seeing pics of your girl, and wow, she is beautiful. I love her speckled belly. Your photos are fine, whether they do her justice or not, her beauty still shine through. Hope to see more of her...

Thank you all for the nice comments. When I got back into boas last year (I had a Peruvian Pucallpa BCC many years ago), I really wanted a slightly smaller snake, with beautiful coloration and a sweet disposition. Well, I couldn't have made a better choice than a Hog Island. :)

Yes, Alessia, she's a real sweetheart. Although she has an amazing feeding response, she's never hissed, struck, or otherwise taken a truly defensive posture toward me or anyone else, for that matter. I also love the fact that she's very curious, but still slow and deliberate like boas tend to be (except when striking/coiling to feed! :Wow:). Anyway, yes, she rocks! :) And yes, you NEED one!!!! :bouncy:

Thanks again for all the kind words.
