Hog Island
hello, I've got a few questions about Hog island Boa's, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
What are some of the specific care requirements? (exact temps, humidity levels etc.)
What are their temperments like?
And
How much should i be expecting to pay for one?
Thanks in advance
Alex

Between $325 and $350. I bought a pair from Mike Vince in December and I was happy with him every step of the way and the snakes are awsome!

03 Hog Island Boas for sale
Just thought I'd drop a website for everyone. www.pmherps.com
He has baby Hogg Island boas for sale...they were born in April and are BEAUTIFUL. I have purchased one and waiting for his arrival. He needs to eat 2 more times though before he gets shipped out. Once on the home page..scroll down to Currently Available..then the 4th link down takes you to the pics of the babies.

Hog Isles have pretty much the same requirements as most of the other localities of BCI. I find mine do well with humidity around 55% or so and a temperature gradient of 78/80 - 90 degrees. Hogs can have variable temperaments but for the most part tend to be pretty easy going, however they all seem to share the same killer feeding response. When they are in the cage they have food on the brain, and they stay in feeding mode for longer than most other snakes seem to.

couldnt really swing the $400 bucks for two of them. I tried to talk a friend into getting one so we can breed, but he wants a Tiger retic or African rock..personally I think he is nuts. Not that I dont love the way retics/rocks look, and wouldn't mind owning one, but darn all my bedrooms are taken up already..lol
