dunesurfer 0 #1 May 13, 2005 Last night was feeding night, so I took some pics of my Hog Island Boas. I am surprised that these are not more popular as pets. They are an island subspecies and have evolved into a dwarfed size due to change in food supply. The females top out at 6 feet compared to their mainland cousins that can easily reach 12. The males are even smaller than the females at about 4 foot. They have a very mellow temperament due to no predation on these islands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Boas aren't albino.... but hypomelanistic, which is reduced black pigment. It is an identifying trait of the Hog island Boa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

homer 0 #16 May 13, 2005 If it weren't for my skydiving addiction and my now short attention span for reading and studying, I was planning to major in Herpatology specializing in venomous snakes. Now I'm going to get a business investments degree. Something about six more years of school makes me sick. CSA #699 Muff #3804 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
