Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have not had much experience with them, I'm interested in Dumerils or Hogg Islands, does anybody have any suggestions to which one would be more suited to a beginner. Also any links to caresheets would be appreciated.

I am a big fan of the hoggs. They stay perfect size have great colors, and even change colors. You can either get them with very few specks or tons of speckles. Some people will say they are snappy when young, but my babies have been calm as could be.
Good luck choosing. As far as care sheets I would do a search on this forum. That will give you all you need to know plus some realy nice pics. Craig Kade

That is not a hogg

I happen to like and own both but to answer your question, I believe FOR A BEGINNER, a Hogg Island Boa would be better, primarily based on maximum size of the snake.

There has been MANY posts similar to this one recently, and although you are simply asking for someones OPINION, so many people choose to jump on and argue about which is better and why and then show pictures and tell personal stories.

Again, I own both and can argue strong cases for both, but if you are looking for an opinion for a beginner, I believe the Hoggs would be best. They stay smaller and actually change color, as opposed to a Dumerils which can reach greater size, girth, and remains stable in color.
Thanks - take care
