on top of the male hogg i got a while ago i purchased a surinamexcolumbian female and its amazing how suriname she can be. outside of her saddle configuration id mark her as a 100% suriname for sure. from pink sides to saddle number to overall temperment its amazing. as soon as shes out of the blue ill post picks but her only give away is her non peaked saddles. other than that i jus am amazed at the over all body difference between a island based boa and the mainland conterparts. considering both have bci in them; the hogg is almost a foot longer but is much more streamlined and lighter in weight while the mainland based boa is alot thicker bodied with a much larger head and is easily twice in weight what the hogg is. when both are out of the blue ill post pics of them but i am just amazed how much difference their can be between not only species but locale differences when only a few hundred miles apart and thats what makes boas so amazing the sheer differences one can find simply between a small locality ie: north and south brazilian's depending on what part of the range they are from its phenomenol and thats the same country. god bless all bc's

Not to be splitting hairs, but you are comparing BCI/BCC to a BCI (ya, I know, picky, picky, picky)

I know what you are saying. I have the little Hog (BCI) and an Argentine/ Columbian- (BCO/BCI) and the differences are astounding. It makes me wonder just how long they were isolated from each other.

I do like varieties of Island reptiles; the geographic isolation, and the smaller gene pool, tends to speed up change (kind of like captive breeding projects).

I’m looking forward to your pictures, Hogs aren’t posted enough!

I've had & bred Hogs for a few years now. They are markedly
different from regular BCI, forget the BCC referrence.

Their heads are slimmer and their bodies are as well. There are
so many hogs being passed as pure hogs that have been bred with
regular BCI that sometimes it is hard just to find a real Hog.

Yours looks a whole lot like mine. LOVE those Hogs! I would like to see more posts and pics!

well itd be a bci bcc cross right being the suriname and columbian? so i wasnt that far off hehe

whoops never mind that i reread your post and decieded imma moron ha

AWH! You made me look! I’m prone to typos and misspellings so I had to check.
