Re: New Female Hogg Island boa

I don't know anything about facebook sorry The resolution just looks small (like cellphone cams) so its hard to make out some detail I'm just a bit picky sorry

If you think it can take a weaned then try it. At worst it will just not eat it. Best way to tell if you need to upgrade is ask yourself "can I see the lump after its done eating in its belly?" not like while it goes down the neck area but after its done eating for an 1 hour or so if you dont see a lump then you need to give it something bigger.

I don't know much about hogs but they look pretty cool and a lot of people here have them.

Pretty boa. Is it a pure hog island or a cross? Just asking because of the color, but it may be the pics. Oh and it is hog not hogg, just letting you know beforehand because it is a pet peeve to some people. Anyways, again nice boa and post more pics!

Re: New Female Hogg Island boa

Actually the term "hogg Isle" is used to describe hog Isle crosses... and by the coloration this is not a pure hog Isle.

Nice looking Boa!

Anyone can print off paperwork.

That boa does not appear to be a pure Hog Island boa. At least not a boa that descends from Cayos de los Cochinos off the coast of Honduras.

Rio Bravo Reptiles: Island Boas
Boa constrictor imperator

Hog Island boas are probably the most often crossed and mislabeled boa out there. True, to the T, Pure Hog Island boas are rather rare.

The fact that your original post spelled out "Hogg" suggests the same from the paperwork, and the seller. Which is the first sign that it is not a pure Hog Isle.

I cant tell you right not that it is not crossed with a regular columbian rtb i can assure you that

Also im sure you are aware of this but there are many common names for the Hogg Island Boa, one of them being Hog island, another HOGG ISLAND and another being Hog isle boa so just because you dont use the most common name does not make it 100% hog

Notice that you said "That boa does not appear to be a pure Hog Island boa" the word does not appear is not a very factious statement there for you just seeing a picture will or will not know if the Hogg is 100% or not with that being said your statement is neither correct or incorrect, so i will stick with my 100% HOGG

Please take into consideration that the lighting and everything else can throw a picture off, remember a picture can say a 1000 words but if the picture is wrong those 1000 words will also be wrong get my drift.

Thanks for the comments

Re: New Female Hogg Island boa

The links I provided go to the websites of 3 locale breeders that have verifiable bloodline Hog Island boas. Please feel free to email any of those breeders for an assesment of your boa, that was my primary purpose for including the links.

I also saw the video you posted with the rack you built. The boa does not appear to be a Hog Island boa.

I say appear, only because a boa can "look" pure, and still be a cross. Your boa does not have any of the defining traits of Hog Island boas. Keep in mind that as an insular boa locality they have a rather small gene pool. Meaning those that are pure are going to look rather similar with limits to variability.

In regards to the name, the spanish name of the Islands translates to Keys of the Pigs, or Islands of the Pigs, Hog being a type of Pig. "Hogg" spelled with the extra G has nothing to do with pigs.

I am only trying to help you out with my posts, please do not take offense to any of it.

Again chris i understand the the spanish meaning believe me but you obviously did not read my post when i said common names are also spelled differently

Since you are saying it does not appear to be a HOG then what would you say it is mixed with just so when i ask these verifiable breeders that they can say you are close or not thanks
