Hogg Island boas do in fact still occur in the wild. I have been in communication with a researcher currently sampling the original Island these were collected on, and those surrounding it in an effort to document the populations of Boa constrictors. I am involved in this to the extent that I am developing molecular markers that will be used to identify the significant population units.

I am not saying I am for or against crossing different locals of imperators, just letting you know that they do still occur in the wild.
Regards,
Warren
