    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

How many folks out there are currently focusing on pure Hog Island Boas? As far as I can tell, Vincent Russo at Cutting Edge Herps looks to be a likely candidate but wondering if there are many others out there. At some point in the next year or so, I'll be looking at purchasing a pair. These will be pets first and foremost, but if the inclinations hits to breed them, I'd like to make sure that I have pure bloodlines.

Cheers,
Randy
 
Check out Chad Duggin as well, that's where I got my hog female from.

I tried my pair this year but no interest (my male is from Gus' now defunct Rio Bravo Reptiles).
 
oh yes, that's right...I do recall his name popping up here and elsewhere. Thanks so much! Having been basically out of herps (minus my faithful 18 y.o. Dumeril's) for around the last decade, I'm definitely a little out of the loop. But gradually getting back into it and really focusing more on boas this time around as well. I'm finding myself drawn to locale-specific varieties more-so than the various "designer morphs"--for lack of a better term (that said, my most recent acquisition is a Colombian Motley female for some reason...ha!). At any rate, I've always really liked the look of Hog Islands and various subtle color hues that come out.
