When I read the latest issue of Reptiles magazine I was captivated by the Hog Island Boas. They look like pastels and they stay small! I looked on the net and this forum but I can't find any info on captive care, specifically housing.
Can anyone tell me what size enclosure hog island boas require? Also what substrate is best for them? What humidity do they do best at, etc.?
I keep "cape york spotted pythons" so I'm not new to herps, just new to boas. Thanks.

just for now, you can read up on all the info for care of common colombian boas and central american boas... they are generally the same...
They are a smaller boa that doesn't need to eat as much as a large colombian...
everything else is generally the same!
take a look here...
