I used to have a nice colony of Hog Islands, but now I am down to just one pair of Hog Islands. They are another good species, almost the opposite of Sonorans in color and pattern, Hog Islands are usually very pale, and very little pattern compaired to Sonorans who are very dark and heavy patterned. I have always been partial to Island boas, Something about being isolated on an island and its a boa...both together make a great combo. If you are wanting to get Hog Islands, I would say take your time and find a good breeder, The Hog Island has now been crossed with the Hypo boa, and there are quite a few mixes around, and it will only get worse from here as more and more people breed to produce something new and different. Don't get me wrong some of the Sunset boas that are produced are beautiful, but I keep Hog Islands cause they are Hog Islands, and like them the way they are. Good luck...and if I where you I would get both eventually...Thats what I did, I couldn't make up my mind which I liked more.
