Hi there, I am THINKING about getting a female to go with my male hog island boa. I am only in the thinking stages but have become obsessed with looking at the kingsnake classifieds. LOL

I really like the look of the hypo/hog crosses. I know that hog islands are pretty hypo themselves but the hypo crosses look pretty cool to me.

While I will probably stick to a "normal" hog island for breeding my question is how big would a female hypo/hog get?

I kinda figure it would vary between 6-10 feet based on the genetic makeup. What do you think?

Thank you,
Carole

PS in the pic he is going to shed...

All of the adult females I have seen were under 6ft long. Figure hypos originate from CA blood, and hogs are basicly a small type of honduran boa. Doesn't mean they couldn't eventualy get bigger, but I'd be suprised to see one reach 7.5 ft.

Thank you very much. My male is pretty big at 6 feet and about 5 years. Is there any way of telling if he is pure hog island? I sort of doubt it but just wondered.

Thank you very much,
Carole
