Pictures Life of a Hog Island Boa

[MandaExotics]

I recently went through my pics of Hero, from younger to older. Quite a difference in size, she was cute itty bitty and is still cute at several ft in length. She had an issue a while back and has some scar tissue from rubbing her nose against the cage, since then she has a nice new cage where such further damage is not easily possible. She's still beautiful!

Besides, who can resist a snake that encourages you to make the bed

Hero is gorgeous! How long is she?

Ya know, I'm not sure exactly. I'm horrible at guessing length and don't have any measuring tapes
She's longer than 5' is all I know...
I'd say probably between 6-7ft.

She's huge! Isn't her large size dangerous? Could you remove her coils yourself if something did happen?

She is gorgeous, but scary too!

Gorgeous! I love Hoggies, I have two myself. I think they are one of the most beautiful BCIs, and yours is no exception!

Here is something that might help you measure her. You need a full body pic where you also have a unit of measure (ei, on a tiled floor if you know each tile is 12", for example).

She is gorgeous
Their colors are amazing, which is why I fell in love with them.

She's about my max size honestly, which is a part of why I got her, I love boas and usually these guys max out at about 7ft. If she wraps around my arm it tends to turn purple a bit quickly, but she's far from uncontrollable. Eventually I can pry her off gently. Like with all animals, it's that level of understanding their body language and being a responsible owner that keeps everyone the safest.

I'd love to get an albino male red tail boa in the future, but not any time soon. Boas aren't too hard to find here in the US and have some pretty amazing morphs you can buy as well. Besides that and a Mexican black kingsnake, my bucket list of snakes will be complete. However, you can never have enough spiders...
