They are suposed to stay under 5'. I only know of one over that mark. I've only ever seen and delt with calm ones. But like all BCI they are variable. I keep my hogs the same as I keep my colombians.
Cheers,
Trevor

Hey Tracy, remember at the association, Victor had a very nice pinkish hog, well that was a female hog sold to him by a cdn breeder. I will contact him to see if he will have babies this year.
Also, it isn't rare that they do exceed the 5 foot marks. I have seen some at 6 feet.
They are very nice snakes.
go to reptilic.com and check in the boidé section, you will see some nice pics of babies from a cdn breeder.

wow..he must of raised his price by popular demand....i got mine when he had only sold two...and i paid $225. I think it was well worth it...i love my hog. They are semi-aboreal..and the color changes they go through are killer! Hasn't refused a meal yet..and loves to eat!!! Any hobbie you get into costs money..so why not indulge..if this is a really a snake you want and plan on keeping for a long long time. Just my IMO.

I've seen Hogs in Canada range from $325 all the way to $450. There are going to be a least 6 people selling them in the next two years and with the demand being what it is for smaller boas I can't see the price coming down any time soon. I paid $350 a piece for mine and that's what I plan on asking for them.
Cheers,
Trevor
