Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

And IF, (key word there) they turn out to actually be hogs?

Can you ask the person you got them from what the parents were or where they came from? that's really the only way to know, the more info you can get, the better. Majority of people that work with true hog isle keep records of where they came from for lineage reasons.
In my experience, hog isles tend to have a white or creamy background color (there are exceptions). Those have more of the brown/tan background color seen in Colombians and other BCi localities. Sunsets are colombian x hog crosses, with the hypo gene involved.
My boa from RioBravo:
you can find a ton more photos of my pair and other people's hog isle at these links:

I'll ask him what/where they came from.
Also, as I said, the bright orange my female shows makes me really wonder what the hell she is. It's bugging me.
I'll take some more photos right now so we can try to figure this out.
Thank you for your help!
Wow that snake is beautiful.

Here's 4 of 8 photos I'm posting of the female hog island that is in question of what she truly is.

Its hard to get a good outdoor photo of her because I won't let any of my snakes touch the ground.

The coloration does not matter as that can carry over from crossing a Hog Island to a Colombian.
While the boas do exhibit pretty decent coloration, the Colombian characteristics are very obvious.
I am sorry, but the odds of them not being a cross are not good.
Let's say, in a perfect world, they are full Hog Islands. They are not very good examples of the animals and the value of them can decrease from that alone.
Unless the person you purchased them from can actually trace these animals back to pure Hogs, there is no real way to say they are pure Hogs.

Is there any way to do a dna test to see what they are or certain markers that I can tell by?
This is for my own sake of mind.
I'm not planning on selling their babies on here.
They will be going to a local shop and friends in the area.
I just want to know what genes these snakes hold so we know what future babies are labeled as.
