Columbian X Hog island boa?

savana_man Jun 19, 2004 03:11 PM

I just got back from the Dixie Reptile Show with my first snake. I was planning on getting a Columbian Boa, but I couldn't find any. All I could find were ball pythons. But when I was walking around a guy came in with a box of hatchlings and was selling them like crazy, By the time I got up there the normals were gone but he had a Columbian x Hog Island boa. He sold it to me for $45. Whats the difference between the columbian and the cross? I will try to get some pictures up. Can anyone post pics of theirs or others? Thanks

There really is no difference as far as care and maintenance goes between a regular Colombian Boa and a Colombian x Hogg Island Boa. All the information pertaining to Colombian Boas should apply to your new pet as well! Enjoy and share some photos when you get a chance!
