Nope. The saddles are too dark, as well as the tail has too much dark pigment (both red and black). Very beautiful Colombian though, colour is outstanding!

Here's a few pics of my hog for comparison...

Ooops

My bad I did not wait for the pic to load and I thought I read, "is a hog a bci?" Sorry about that. Linds is right it is a nice columbian though

Cheers,

no that is not a hogg island that snake looks like a croosbred

I believe it's not a crossbred. Here in Greece the Boid breeders are counted in the palm of 1/5 of one hand! So, the majority of snakes that are for sale are wildcaughts. Only i can think is that is a rare whittish columbian Bci

really nice hogs linds, did you take the picture in the early evening?, the top pic looks like sun shine coming in on it, Hogs have a tendancy to whiten up at night. it looks way to white for a day time picture unless in was early morning and it never darkened up to its day time color. what line is it from?

very nice columbian though!

Linds you have a very nice specimen there! I generaly love the white color in snakes. Beautiful.

Thanks for the kind words!

Mike,
I took that pic back in the summer in the afternoon. I don't find that her colour is determined by the time of day, unlike most of my other snakes, she is light at night as often as during the day. She's of unknown lineage.
