Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I am planning on getting a hogg island boa in a few weeks. Is there any information I need to know? I'm already trying to get about $200 together to actually purchase the snake, if they have a baby at the next reptile show in 2 weeks. I have a spare 10gallon and 20 gallon long tank, so I'm ok with that. I have numerous other snakes that take mice/rats, so I have food. I have extra hides and water dishes.

Is there anything I am missing? Any specific care I should know?

I'm assumming you've already researched their needs?
I got my male from Laura VanAlyn (there's a link to her site on my site. My link is below). I've been thrilled with him & with her customer service!
I love my two Hogs! Give us pics when you get it.

Well, that is a given. I already own a zoo full of reptiles. I'm just looking for any tips that might be difficult to find on caresheets and stuff.
