RE: ...."If You Google HOGG Island, you do get a zillion references to recent web articles where HOGG was (incorrectly) used in lieu of Hog in describing Boa from those little Cays just east of La Ceiba, Honduras.. but not to Cayos los Cochinos...."

Gus, which cays are you refferring to or where are the recent articles? i googled it and didnt have any luck. i have a pretty decent map but it doesnt show any cays east (or actually northeast)of la cieba until you get to cayos cochinos (which some people are surprised to learn are actually 15 bodys of land that make up the cayos cochinos). these cays you mentioned could be just too small to show up on the map i have (although it does show a profusion of cays off the coast of Belize). hmmmmm......i am wondering if these cays you speak of could be collecting points of certain boas brought in last september 04???? well, my group will remain pure. i swear i am going to go down there some day,,,,, a scuba diving/snake field photography trip is on my trip wish list. on Cayo Grande, Hog island they have a pretty reasonable dive resort, i am checking into.i believe you can hire boats to take you all over,,,,maybe a group from KS boa forum could meet up??? thanks, john yocum , p.s. heres a shot of a female offspring produced by my hoG island female that you liked, her sister is pictured in a post way down by "kattivo", awesome contrast and color. the mother is pictured in another reply on this same thread. unfortunately no babies from her this summer but she looks ready to go now.
