Hogg Island Boa ?

I purchased this snake as pure Hogg Island. Sold to me as a female turned out to be a male.
Looks more like my Corn Islands. Belly not quite so red, though.
Got that greenish background color and some really rich red dorsal saddles (brick red to burgundy).
I've had Hoggs before. Doesn't look like any I've had before. Much darker than those posted and discussed here.
Recent discussions refer to a color change with age/maturity.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? His morphology?
