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.

Maybe some good will come of it. Maybe I can just keep the babies and see what I can make out of them.
I just enjoy animals and love how these two snakes look. The coloring they have is so gorgeous. If no one else wanted these, I'd keep them because I enjoy how they look. Maybe I'll get a surprise with a baby that pops out.

Better hope it's not one of those litters of 50.

those of us that try to preserve true hog isle locality boas (yes, it is a locality of BCi, not a subspecies) do our best to ensure the lines are 'pure' hog. You have to trust the person you buy from and get as much history/generational information you can get.
It's a hobby for most of us as well : )

A mutt may show majority of hog gene's but could still carry that red tail gene. Also if they were crosses with red tails wouldn't they be much larger? These two are quite small, about the same exact size as hogs.

Colombian red tails can be as small as 4' and as large as 11' (reportedly) when adults. Your boas appear to be the same build and length of a pretty typical Colombian boa.
Hog Islands can exceed 6', but 6' is pretty typical.
I know you really, really want these animals to be Hog or mostly Hog, but they simply are not. I'm sorry, but they are not.

You yourself could have a nice looking mutt since you are relying on someone who may be trying to make a quick buck with a lie. It's not hard, so all I am saying is how do you find out 100% for sure?
And can you ever really trust the person giving you this info?
Sorry, not trying to be rude in any way. I'm just trying to figure out what I can do with these snakes now. Regardless I'll have babies. I just need to know what route would be the best. What are my chances of just making more pretty snakes for my own enjoyment?

You're saying they aren't even 50% hog?

You're going to just breed these animals to breed them anyway, so anything we tell you is irrelevant.

Even if they were 50%, so what? They are still sub species crosses.

This is a photo of a Colombian boa at 7 years old (she is nearly eight now). As you can see, she is not a monstrous animal. Properly fed Colombians do not become obese, overstuffed sausages.
