Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I bought this little girl a couple months ago at the New England Reptile Expo. She is 75% Hogg. I don't plan on breeding her, I am keeping her as a pet only. As you may be able to see in the picture, she has a really pretty pinkish color to her, especially on her belly. I was just wondering what your thoughts were on what her genetic makeup may be? I know that one of her parents was a Hogg, but I'm not sure what the other was. The dealer said that neither of the parents were over five feet as adults.

Thanks in advance!

If she is 75% hog Island then the other parent was 1/2 hog, the other half probably col.

Makes it a Reptile Show Bargin MUTT !
No disrespect intended,its a good looking animal and luckly/thankfully the seller eluded to its origin.

Thank you for your responses. We love our reptile show muttThis is our first boa. We also have had a ball python for a number of years who is just a wonderful snake, but we also like the look and personality of the boa, which is a little different from the ball, so after a lot of research, we decided to add a boa to our reptile family.

I thought that one of the parents might be a columbian, but I was curious as to what your opinions were, being more experienced with boas and different types of boas. I am also intrigued by the pinkish coloring she has, but I read that some Hoggs can have this coloring, so that may be her 75% Hogg genes. When I saw her at the reptile show, I thought that she had really pretty coloring, and when I held her, she had such a great personality, I just had to take her home.
