I recently purchased two hogg island x nicaraguan boa crosses (a whoops! litter), a male and a female. I'm noticing that the female's muscle tone is much "looser" than the male's-- she moves around fine, eats great, doesn't seem to be in any distress, but the poor muscle tone concerns me. I'm not entirely sure what to do-- feed her more heavily to try to get her to put on mass, or just keep her on a normal feeding regimen and see how she does.
I've had them for only about three weeks now, but both are eating well, move around, and are docile and easy to handle. The male is more easy-going, but the female has become much better too. Both have shed since I got them, both in one piece. I'd post pics of them but I don't have enough posts yet.
The male is about 34" and the female is about 38". Birth date is 8-1-2014. I know that hybrids of locales are frowned upon (for good reason), but they needed a home, both are gorgeous, and will make great pets!
Thanks!
Chris
