My new hog island came last Wednesday and it is beautiful.l It ate on Sunday[two large mice] and he has a very good feeding response. Pics will come tomorrow because I want to be certain he has digested and not in feeding mode. Out of the box he was very defensive and has stayed that way since, do you think he is still stressed from being shipped across the U.S? Damn just forgot to put this in my hog Island boa thread. It is small but I found this picture of the snake on the breeders website.
