Hoggs are just awesome. One of the best looking snakes out there IMO with their super super light fronts and mid bodies and awesome contrasting orange in their tails!!! Love that tail on yours.

first a pic of the father, still one of the pinkest hogs i have ever seen (pic does not do him justice),next a pic of the 04 female just after her first shed, and then a pic of the mother...i guess you can see where she got her orange tail from.....in 04 the mother did not become noticably darker upon becoming gravid, as a matter of fact i didnt even realize she was gravid (she had only 3 females) until one day she began snapping and hissing at me when i walked by her enclosure, i thought, "thats weird" and looked in to see her over three lovely little girls. after several weeks of courting you can see (in my first post) how dark she has become suddenly. i cant wait for summer, several other pairings are looking good here as well, thanks, john yocum

I don't have any recent shots of them. Here is a shot of the first girl from last year. She is has colored up even more since then and has caught to that Lemke Male in size! They are just awesome animals! Thanks John! Don't forget to save me 1.1 from this year's pairing!!
