.. missing or extra 'G'.. Does even Harley Davidson mispell that word for a large pig? Pig has one 'G', so does Hog.

The animals come from Hog Island (or Cay) or perhaps more correctly, Pig Island.. this is a literal translation from the Spanish "Cayos los Cochinos".

In addition the earliest "explorers" into the field of crossbreeding and intergrading these unique and threatened animals latched on to the tag "HOGG" or "HOGG Boa". To myself and others interested in locality genetics the GG implies an intergrade or crossbreed product, not a Hog Is. boa.. we won't keep, buy or sell HOGGs.. If it doesn't signify a cross then it is illiteracy. Take yer pick.

But that's just me and my opinion.

By the way.. beautiful Boa!
