Thank you Stav for the info. A US friend who brings in shippments also gave me some tips. It should be possible...just alittle costly...

The boas are San Andreas Island Boas (B.c.i.)...they look almost just like a Hog Island boa...the island is pretty close to Cayo cochinos... I'm sure back in the "hey day" of Hog imports, they were brought into the us as Hog Island boas...


Canada got a group of WC San Andreas boas a few years back.... I'm just an insular locality nut and have to have them...lol...

I have Hog Islands, Crawl Cays, Corn Islands, and Cay Caulkers....

Probably pick up Isla Roatan firebellies next year....

Thanks again for your help!

Cool

If I can give you some advice.... make sure you get all the proper info like copies of the import papers from the breeder that has them that got them in the country that prove the "real" origin of the snakes. All the info you need on the guy/company that exported them to Canada , you will find on the cities papers : his country, full name, address, phone number etc... You can then make the proper phone calls to insure you are buying the local you want to buy.

Just thought I would tell you a bit on that because there is people here in Canada selling " Hogs " as San's to make a surplus buck without providing any kind of references on their origins except the usual chorus " I got them in a wild shipment" or just because of size or color......

I my point of view if you cant get the proper info as far as papers goes with the original exporter's name , phone and address and verify after , since you say they are WC and came in the country a few years ago ( it would be really easy to find out ) then they are not anything else than different looking hogs.....

Canada is a small world when it comes to snakes and not many have San's at least san's that you can trace back the origins....Do you have pictures of them and the parents and pictures of the mother with the babies ?
